Delighted, hundreds of students across the country took to Twitter to post their reactions. 

Most thanked the minister for taking the decision, while a few opposed the decision.

Here are a few memes doing the rounds on the internet that are sure to tickle your funny bones.

One person captured the reaction of thousands of students in Sindh, who are not going to benefit from the announced school closure. 

And this meme, crafted cleverly from images from a cricket match (we're still missing PSL), had us in stitches.

For Malik Mubashir, Shafqat Mehmood is "students ki jaan". We're guessing Mubashir is either from Punjab or Peshawar:

Another Twitter user, another cricket meme. Befitting, as usual.

Shafqat Mehmood, according to this Twitter user, secretly enjoys the love he receives from Pakistan's youth after every 'positive' press conference:

And if there ever was a King of Mirzapur (the popular Amazon Prime series), this guy is quite clear on who it would be.

We're guessing, as this meme points out, that some parents out there aren't happy over the decision.

Shafqat Mehmood, with his latest decision, has won back millions of Pakistani students, no two doubts about that.

Okay this is just too good. Period.

Some students out there would have taken this news to heart.

Students in Punjab right now...

Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood on Wednesday announced the closure of schools in several cities from Monday, March 15 following a spike in coronavirus cases.

Speaking to the media after a meeting at the National Command and Operations (NCOC), the federal minister said educational institutes would be closed in Islamabad and other Punjab cities from Monday for two weeks.

The SAPM on Health Dr Faisal Sultan said a decision had also been taken to extend a ban on indoor activities and reimpose the 50% work-from-home policy. The implementation of the work from home policy has been left to the discretion of the provinces, but will go into effect in Islamabad immediately.
