Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah while talking to the media has said that Larkana, with 90 positive Covid-19 cases, is a potential hotspot.

"We're increasing our testing capacity. We're getting more and more swabs and kits. By end of next week, we will open a testing lab in Larkana district," he said.

"We are asking people not to leave their homes. I request everyone to take care of themselves."

"The CM and his administration cannot do anything if people don't cooperate," he said, adding people should take these measures not for him but for their family and loved ones.

"We are testing Tableeghi Jamaat preachers in the province. Those who tested negative and were from outside Sindh are being sent home."
