22 educational institutions across the country have been sealed during the last 48 hours for flouting the standard operating procedures (SOPs) against COVID-19.

The National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) said this in a statement on Thursday.

During the last 48 hours, 22 educational institutions across Pakistan have been closed due to non-compliance of health SOPs/protocols and disease prevalence.

Hours after the NCOC statement, two more colleges in Hyderabad were sealed by the authorities after several teachers tested positive for COVID-19.

Earlier this week, Riphah Medical College in the federal capital was sealed after the virus was detected in 16 of its staff members and students during random testing. NCOC said that contact tracing is being used to ensure the containment of the virus.
