INTRODUCTION
The pandemic has led to great loss of human life worldwide and also it continues to bring
challenges to food systems, public health and world of work. COVID 19 has caused economic
and social disruption due to which millions of people are failing into extreme poverty. It has also
affected the business world due to which companies are facing severe loss and closing their
outlets in order to survive in the tough time of pandemic (Azeem and et. al., 2022). COVID 19
has affected all the countries in the world with millions of confirmed cases and millions of death
across globe including Pakistan. It has also created a negative impact on primary, secondary and
tertiary sector of economy like health care, education and agriculture. The government of
Pakistan has imposed lockdown in first wave only in order to reduce the affect of crisis and also
they encourage the people to wear the mask in order to save their lives. Wearing mask is
mandatory for people in Pakistan for reducing the spread of disease from one person to another.
In the first wave of pandemic, the number of cases in Pakistan was less as compare to other
developed countries (Salman, 2021). The government has launched smart lockdown schemes in
first wave only. In the smart lockdowns schemes, the government focuses on identifying the
COVID hotspots across Pakistan and isolates the specific areas. Thus, this research is based on
identifying the effectiveness of lockdowns, mask mandates, and other mitigation measures which
are taken by Pakistan government in order to prevent the deaths and illness among society.
