Pak Army to be called once again for implementing govt directed COVID SOPs
The National Command and Operations Centres (NCOC) on Tuesday has decided to call Pakistan Army once again for implementing the government's directed COVID standard operations procedures (SOPs).
The forum has also decided to make the COVID-19 jab obligatory for domestic travel from August 1.
Meanwhile, international flight operations have been increased to 50%.
"The decision to increase international flight operations has been made to repatriate Pakistanis stranded abroad," the statement said, adding that the decision would come into effect from July 15.
The move to increase flight operations will allow the government to bring back 2,500-3,000 Pakistanis every day, and all the airports and relevant authorities have been directed to make necessary arrangements to accommodate the passengers, the forum said.
The forum has decided to impose smart lockdowns with the help of heat maps.
The meeting was informed that the authorities in Islamabad, Multan Peshawar and Gujranwala had taken action against people violating COVID-19 SOPs.
