Pakistan enforced a smart lockdown almost two weeks ago when coronavirus cases in the country almost surged to the 150,000-mark.

The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) issued a list of 20 cities identified as COVID-19 hotspots across the country where smart lockdowns were forced.

Parts of the federal capital Islamabad, Peshawar, and Lahore have been sealed to stem the spread of the virus.

Moreover, areas identified in Swat sealed include Bahrain, Matta, Babuzai, Kabal, Barikot, Khariri, Gwalerai and Odigram.

Other tehsils identified by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department include UC Qambar, Saeedoshareef, Breekot Gharbi, Quetta Sharki, Kozabandi and Madin.
