ISLAMABAD, 17 May 2021, (TON): Pakistan on Sunday announced removing coronavirus restrictions on transportation and commercial activities, which were suspended after Yom-e-Ali for a week to curb the spread of the virus during Eid-ul-Fitr.

The easing of restrictions came even as the country's coronavirus positivity rose to 7.83 per cent on Sunday.

All businesses and public transport were suspended from May 10-16 to stop mass movement during the Eid al-Fitr holidays to curb the spread of the virus. However, the National Command and Ope­ra­tion Centre (NCOC) deci­ded to resume public transport from Sunday.

The restriction on transport was eased to help people come back from far off places to join their offices and other duties from Monday when businesses would also open.
