Pakistan has begun to crack down on COVID-19 safety violators after the number of cases in the country crossed more than 100,000.
"First, we educated the masses about the protocols, then we warned them, and now, in the last meeting with the prime minister in the chair, we directed administrations to crack down on places protocols are not being followed," Pakistan's Planning Minister Asad Umar told reporters.
Authorities have sealed many markets and shops for violating the safety measures introduced by the government to curb the spread of coronavirus.
Pakistan, which lifted lockdown restrictions last month, has seen record number of new daily infections over the last 10 days, partly due to increased testings.
