Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan called on the public to continue following social distancing guidelines as businesses start to reopen in phases.
He said Pakistan will begin easing its nationwide lockdown over the weekend.
Schools will remain closed until mid-July, while there were no plans to restart public transportation or domestic flights.
The easing of the lockdown comes with many across the country already openly flouting its restrictions and gathering in public.
Last month, authorities bowed down to the pressure from religious groups ahead of Ramadan and allowed mosques to hold daily prayers and evening congregations.
