Shafqat Mehmood said I don’t make decisions based on health
The decision based on health is to be made by those who are
associated with the medical field. The health situation is reviewed in the NCOC
meeting. The aspect of health is always sacred. In terms of education, the
advice of all the provincial education ministers was that there should be
examinations. It is to be noted that due to the alarming situation of Corona in
the country, section 144 has been enacted and it has also been decided to
impose fines on the public for implementing SOPs.

On the other hand, a complete lockdown has been demanded
from the government for 15 days as the rate of Corona cases in the country has
exceeded 18%. The Pakistan Medical Association has demanded a complete lockdown
in Punjab for 15 days immediately. Due to the dramatic increase in corona cases
and lockdowns last year, the government postponed exams and allowed children to
pass without exams. While most of the students were happy with the government’s
decision, there were also a large number of students who opposed the
government’s move, saying that we were not given grades in preparation for our
exams.
