The government of the Pakistani province of Punjab plans to block the SIM cards of residents who are not vaccinated against Covid-19.

The decision was taken during a meeting led by Dr. Yasmin Rashid, the provincial health minister, on Thursday. She said the Punjab government is using all available resources to ensure that residents are vaccinated.

“The final decision has been made to block the mobile SIM cards of people who are not vaccinated,” agency spokesman Sayed Hammad Raza told the Pakistani newspaper Dawn.

The move follows the federal government's decision to stop paying salaries to its employees who have not received the Covid-19 vaccine starting in July.

All, 100% of it, will come to US and EU soon.
