The CM Sindh on Monday, while speaking to a press conference, said that the reason behind the ineffectiveness of the countrywide coronavirus lockdown was the ‘mixed signals’ from the federal government. “The Covid-19 pandemic is not a provincial or a personal matter — I want to say this very clearly. We cannot make decisions in isolation because their consequences affect everybody,” he added.
The chief minister said that he was thankful to the rest of the provinces that followed Sindh government’s footsteps and enforced a lockdown. “I am tired of repeating this. The pandemic has affected economies around the world, but nothing is more important than people's lives. You can revive a lifeless economy but you cannot bring back the dead," he added.
