Federal and Provincial Government after deliberation have decided of easing the restriction, although fresh cases and casualties are on rise.  Small traders and business, which includes community market, retail out-lets, stand-alone and neighbourhood shops would operate from Monday to Thursday 6am to 4pm. The provinces have already announced inter-city and inter-provincial transport would remain suspended to reduce chances of local transmission of the deadly virus.  Under the decision taken at National Coordination Committee, markets and businesses would remain open five days a week. However, the provinces decided to maintain lockdown on Saturday and Sunday.  Fearing rapid spread of the virus due to the relaxation, the Sindh government decided that the lockdown in the province would be maintained on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
