Furthermore, it may also be decided that students living in areas where a lockdown is imposed will attend school once a week to collect their homework.

According to the federal education minister Shafqat Mahmood, it was noted in an earlier meeting that schools had a direct impact of the infection rate since a large chunk of the population are school going children.
