The CAA staff union raised the demand for administering the anti-covid vaccine to the airport staff at the earliest.

In a circular, the union urged the CAA director general to save hundreds of staffers.

Like health workers, the airport staff should be administered vaccine immediately.

Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan received the first shot of vaccination,

He urged the citizens of his country to ensure the full implementation of norms to prevent the surge in cases of coronavirus.

The Covid-19 vaccine is being provided to people 60 years of age and above and to front-line health workers.

Authorities have imposed smart lockdowns in areas worst hit by the coronavirus as the country recorded a sharp increase in the positive cases.

All markets, shopping malls, offices, and restaurants will remain closed in the areas of smart lockdown. However, grocery stores, hospitals, pharmacies, bakeries, meat and milk shops will be allowed to remain open.
