Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood on April 4th tweeted about today’s meeting and said that decision will be taken collectively by country’s health and education authorities.

The closure was extended in high-risk areas and specific districts of Pakistan until April 11. Federal Minister for Education had back then announced that examinations would be held as per schedule, but the Cambridge authorities would be contacted to delay O and A level exams.
