The Punjab government in Pakistan last week allowed reopening of the entire textile value chain, making the business community responsible for ensuring precautionary measures against spreading of the novel coronavirus. The decision followed a meeting by a delegation of the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) with chief minister Usman Buzdar on May 2.
The chief minister was satisfied with the arrangements and allowed the textile value chain to resume operations across the state, APTMA Punjab chairman Adil Bashir was quoted as saying by Pakistani media reports.
He said APTMA member mills had already adopted all precautionary measures by providing masks, sanitisers and personal protective kits to the labour force.
