As Pakistan witnesses the fourth wave of COVID-19 with the delta variant on the rise, smart lockdowns and revised SOPs have been advised to control the spread of this deadly variant.
Someone on Twitter shared their sister’s first hand experience travelling with Saboor Aly amid the fourth wave, who completely refused to wear a mask saying that her doctor has asked her not to wear a mask to avoid acne:
Saboor Ali flew on the same flight as my sister today. Refused mask compliance throughout. She didn’t even have a mask & was provided one by the airport staff which she wore only for a few secs when boarding. Her reason: “mujhe doc ne mana kiya hai, mask se mujhe acne hojati hai”

You don’t give a shit about your own health, fine by us. But don’t go parading in public places then, putting other people at risk! @Saboor__Aly

And netizens are just not having it:
Go through her social media and you'll see shes out partying every other day. No social distancing no masks
Maskne is valid. There are work arounds. Cotton masks, changing your surgical masks frequently. Literally so much you can do to keep yourself +more importantly others safe https://t.co/bnxSzzfg46

People really wanted to know why she was allowed to fly with no mask:
The state of these celebs! 😠 Why was she allowed to have her way? Why wasn't she kicked off the plane? https://t.co/A0cGV8jaqD
— Saba S. Sheikh (@sabassheikh) July 18, 2021
She should have been prevented from flying. End of. @fawadchaudhry https://t.co/VIzxJccPUq
— Adam (@munch1201819) July 18, 2021
People shared how she should fire her doctor and aesthetician:
Super Spreader Saboor. That sounds so nice. Even if she was vaccinated, it's necessary to wear a mask. So! She needs to fire her both her doctor and aesthetician considering they did not tell her to wear a cotton mask and double it with a surgical mask. https://t.co/dkOvyjbs5x
— Saad سعد (@saad_durrani) July 17, 2021
People shared how she has no sense of social responsibility:
What is this behaviour? Well then what do you expect from such uneducated people who have no sense of social responsibility in them.
It doesn't matter how much million followers you have on Instagram becaus dude we know how insane you celebrities are in your actual life. https://t.co/boHxqQKAdU— I stand with Palestine! (@deejzx) July 18, 2021
People were recommending getting a private jet:

People were calling CAA out on their failure to have the passengers comply:
Wah @officialsaboora way to be entitled.
Sure: your skin is more important than the.x hundred passengers who you may infecting if you are COVID positive.And what a failure of airline and CAA to not enforce wearing masks https://t.co/IgLtZu5ZYm

If mask further make situation worse, more than COVID then she did it right. Sit down. https://t.co/pwwe1UYSyA

People were sharing real life experiences:
But that's actually true, because my friend has this issue! Do your research before calling people out on social media. Ik insan ke na pehne se dunia ko corona nhi hojaega, ap apna distance maintain karen simply??? Ajeeb chussein marne ke liye acha platform hai yeh. https://t.co/P6a6wDqgnd
