As the country recorded more than 750 COVID-19 positive cases after a gap of one month, the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) on Friday said that 13 educational institutions were closed down during the last 24 hours for flouting health guidelines and standards operating procedures (PSOs).

“In last 24 hours, 13 educational institutions have been closed across Pakistan due to non-compliance of health guidelines and protocols and disease prevalence. Ten educational institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and three in Sindh have been closed,” said a brief statement issued by the NCOC.

After a gap of six months, the educational institutions were reopened on Sept 15 in phases, with the opening of universities, colleges and high schools (9th and 10th classes) in the first phase, after a decision taken by the federal and provincial education ministers.
