A letter written from the provincial home department shared recommendations of a meeting headed by CM Sindh Murad Ali Shah and attended by medical experts including those from the WHO. Sharing the recommendations, it had said that a ban should be imposed on inter-provincial or inter-city public transport for a period of two weeks. The letter had suggested an immediate implementation of the ban with only giving two days to the public transport to reach their desired designation.
