Earlier on Saturday Prime Minister Imran Khan rejected the proposal of a two-week-long complete lockdown in Punjab particularly in Lahore despite the alarming rise in new cases and deaths in the province, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The suggestion had come into light after the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned the Punjab government about the alarming trend being witnessed in the province since relaxing the lockdown.
The WHO had noted the rise in the number of new cases and deaths, while suggesting a mechanism of imposing a two-week lockdown followed by relaxations on a repeated basis.
