Sindh CM Murad Ali Shah has thanked the ulema for "cooperating with the government so far".

"Mosques are still open and azaan is being delivered every day," he said while talking to the media in Larkana. "Alvi sahib's SOPs [decided with the ulema] needs to be followed by worshippers."

"Our first priority is stopping the spread of the virus. Because how will daily wagers survive if they contract corona?

"I want to request the federal government to send text messages to those on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and ask them to take precautions against the virus."
