The federal minister took to Twitter and said the standard operating procedures (SOPs) prepared for the business sector must be followed strictly.
Shibli Faraz maintained that safety of public health and economic continuity must go side by side. The phased lifting of the coronavirus lockdown depicts concern for the weak class and will support small businesses, he added.
