Islamabad: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab provincial governments caught in the clutches of an ever closer “second” wave of COVID-19 are taking steps to prevent the virus from returning to the winter season.
KP’s government has ordered its provincial and administrative government to make all arrangements in this regard.
Prime Minister Mahmood Khan, while chairing a meeting, led an effective mechanism through close coordination between stakeholders and relevant departments to ensure that the pandemic does not recede or, even if it does, its effect is not as harsh as it was in June or July of that year.
The assembly also reviewed the existing coronavirus scenario in the province and government arrangements for a imaginable outbreak of the virus.
It has directed the availability of all mandatory medicines and medical devices in all public sector hospitals in the province to the general screening functions of patients with suspected COVID-19.
KP has reported that 38141 showed cases of coronavirus, while the number of deaths caused by the virus is 1263. The province has reported one death and 36 new cases in the last 24 hours.
Like KP, the Punjab government has also alerted the fitness government by applying intelligent micro-enclosures across the province to curb the imaginable spread of COVID-19.
The Punjab Department of Health has decided on 856 sensitive spaces for limited closures in locations and quarantined some 7295 inflamed people, according to an official here on Wednesday.
The number of deaths caused by the virus in the province has increased to 2,245 (second Sindh where the toll count is 2,531) as there are more than 100,145 cases of coronavirus in the province. In more than twenty-four hours, the province has reported 115 new cases and two deaths.
Overall, Pakistan reported Wednesday that a total of 316351 showed cases of coronavirus, 624 in the last 24 hours.
The number of deaths to date is 6,535, of which 12 were reported on the last day. According to the Ministry of Health portal, the mortality rate exceeded more than 2% (from 1. 94% to 2. 1%). In addition, the recovery rate was greater than 96% to 95. 2%.
Meanwhile, Railway Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed warned that the newly formed alliance of opposition parties, the Democratic Movement of Pakistan, could contribute to the spread of coronavirus through its rallies and public meetings in the coming days.
The 11-party anti-government alliance will hold its first public assembly in October in Gujranwala, Punjab.
“I’m worried that their manifestations will spread the virus again,” said Rashid, who begged others to be careful and put on a coronavirus mask.
