Karachi's positive ratio increased from 35 percent to 39.39 percent in the same time period, according to health department authorities.
'Karachi is projected to post a 50% positive rate.'
Meanwhile, federal health experts informed Geo News that the scenario in Karachi is anticipated to alter in the following week, with the positive ratio possibly reaching 50%, leading to an increase in hospitalizations.
Officials also predicted that daily instances would increase to 6,000.
Sindh has convened a conference in light of the rising number of instances.
According to Geo News, Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah convened a meeting of the provincial administration on Saturday to review the COVID-19 situation in Karachi.
Members of the COVID-19 task force, the Sindh Health Department, and coronavirus specialists were expected to attend the meeting to discuss the current situation in the city, according to sources.
Separately, CM Shah stated in a press conference in Karachi that the decision to impose a lockdown and suspend educational institutions will be made in accordance with the NCOC's recommendations.
The coronavirus infections were spreading quickly, but the situation was under control, according to CM Shah, because hospitalizations and patients in intensive care units (ICU) in the port city were low.
Booster dose:
As the Omicron variety spreads across the country, the NCOC declared that all individuals over the age of 18 can obtain a coronavirus vaccine booster shot.
After a six-month delay from when their immunisation was finished, consumers will receive a free booster dosage.
