NCOC morning session was held under chairmanship of Mr Asad Umer. Forum deliberated in length road map and measures post opening up various sectors and upcoming two major events including Independence Day and Muharram. Forum was apprised that a complete Code of conduct has been made for ensuring social distancing measures and face masks. Forum was informed that wearing of face masks including simple cloth masks help in containing covid spread. Asad Umer said that opening up of various sectors must be followed with health guidelines. The covid threat is still there and if health guidelines will not be followed there is always a threat that disease can again spread. He said that people of Pakistan have been very responsive and they have shown great patience and compliance to various health guidelines. If the same spirit is followed up till Muharram it will help to mitigate health challenges. Asad Umer urged federal & provincial administrations to ensure public safety and wellbeing through effectively measures during upcoming Muharram.
