The leader said that though the schools have been closed since February, as many as 1,148 children have tested coronavirus positive so far.
Meanwhile, Balochistan government has issued a notification extending its "smart lockdown" till June 16, Radio Pakistan reported.
However, Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid has been reported as saying that a poor country like Pakistan cannot afford to have a prolonged lockdown.

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
