ISLAMABAD: National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) recently lifted restrictions on one-day weekly closure of businesses and resumed cinemas and shrines for fully vaccinated people as COVID-19 cases in the country have been under control.
According to a statement issued by the panel, the state of keeping businesses closed once a week had been raised and only fully immunised citizens would visit the cinemas and shrines.
However, in regions with a high prevalence of coronavirus cases, Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) would remain there from October 16 till 31 and be reviewed on October 28 in the meeting.
The NCOC also raised the number of guests at indoor weddings from 200 to 300 and outdoor marriage events from 300 to 500.
NCOC's recent meeting assessed the coronavirus situation in the country and decided to ease restriction as fewer cases were being reported.
