In a video released by his office's Twitter account, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah announced that 20 per cent of Covid-19 tests conducted in the past 24 hours came out positive.
"This is greater than the world average at the moment," Shah said.
He also said that 919 people are still under treatment in the province.
The chief minister cautioned that there wasn't "much good news" in the last 24 hours and thus the province needed a stricter lockdown.
