Obviously this gives twitter the chance to react with hilarious memes that light up our day every single time! While the news is being celebrated by students of Punjab, other districts are rather sad that they have to still continue with their studies.

While we understand that twitter is a space to express and enjoy the announcement of holidays, we also need to remember the severity of the condition as mentioned in the tweet made by Shafqat Mahmood. The third coronavirus outbreak is more deadly than the previous strains and we need to take responsibility and take as much precautions as we can. The announcement has also made #cancelexamspakistan2021 a trend on twitter. Lets see what the future has to hold.
