According to Dr Azra Pechuho, the rate of positive coronavirus cases has doubled in Sindh from 1.5% to 3% which is concerning when it comes to reopening schools in the province.

It is pertinent to mention that the Sindh government had decided to postpone reopening of middle schools in the province till September 28th on account emergence of coronavirus cases among students and teachers including unsatisfactory implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs).

However, the Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar says that the positivity rate of coronavirus cases in stable and below 2% which contradicts the statement by the Sindh Health Minister.

Taking to Twitter, the Federal Minister wrote:

Significant build up in covid testing done to carry out sentinel testing at educational institutions in order to identify early trends, if any. 42,299 tests carried out yesterday which is by far the highest ever. Positivity ratio continues to be stable below 2%,

Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah has stated that the provincial government would only open schools once there was a proper implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs).
