Karachi, au Pakistan
Although Pakistan has noticed a significant drop in COVID-19 cases, experts say that reopening the tourism sector at this time would likely return the pandemic wave.
Alarm bells rang out after nearly 50 hotel and hotel workers in the north and north of the country reported infections in recent days.
According to local media, some 600,000 tourists from all over Pakistan have flocked to the picturesque valleys of northern Gilgit-Baltistan and northwest Khagan, Naraan, Murree, Chitral, Swat, Dir and other tourist destinations in the following month, after the government rose. . and ban.
Unlike neighbouring India, Pakistan has reported a drop in COVID-19 instances. According to the U.S.-based Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, to date, 294,000 cases have been reported in the country, with 6,267 deaths. India recorded 3.23 million cases with around 60,000 deaths.
Official statistics released Tuesday say active COVID-19 instances have fallen below 10,000 in Pakistan for the first time after the months outbreak.
However, fitness professionals have warned that the “reckless” reopening of tourism can lead to a new wave of pandemics due to large human movements.
“This [tourist reopening] would possibly lead to a wave of coronavirus cases in the country, as no protective precautions are followed by tourists,” Said Dr. Qaisar Sajjad, general secretary of the Pakistan Medical Association (WFP), a national framework of fitness professionals, told the Anadolu News Agency.
He said it is possible that the declining number simply recedes due to precipitated movements, he warned that the eventual spread of the virus would reduce the burden on the country’s already weak fitness system.
Infection and transmission.
Approving Sajjad’s opinion, Dr. Tahir Shamsi, the country’s most famous hematologist, said those visiting tourist sites can infect locals and vice versa.
“Whatever the knowledge about active instances and tests, they only come from urban spaces – some giant cities. We know a lot about the coronavirus scenario in rural areas, adding tourist destinations. Even if those spaces are clear, then there is a clever chance that the virus will spread through asymptomatic tourists from all over Pakistan,” Shamsi, who heads the Karachi National Blood Disease Institute, told the Anadolu News Agency.
He also said that if tourists had the local virus, they would send it to their respective locations.
Sajjad checks tourists before allowing them to enter tourist destinations.
“We sense that business and coronavirus will have to go hand in hand. But fitness and life are more important,” he said, and recommended that the ideal way be not to reopen tourism until Pakistan is declared a coronavirus-free country.
“But since then, the virus disappears, in the near future, therefore tourism can afford on a limited scale with strict security precautions,” he said.
According to the National Command and Operations Center, which leads the country’s war against COVID-19, the number of assets in the country is lately 8987.
The country has registered 482 new instances in the last 24 hours, at an average of 5,000 instances consistent with the day of May and June. In June, even 7,000 cases were recorded on a single day. Of the new instances, 672 are reported in critical condition, based on the data.
Currently, Pakistan is following a local blocking strategy on dozens of hot spots in 20 major cities to stop the spread of the virus.
Studies show that other people expand immunity
Both fitness experts who overcome the progression of immunity and antibodies in a giant number of populations are the main reasons for the significant decrease in virus cases.
A recent review conducted through Dr. Samreen Zaidi of the National Institute of Blood Diseases found that at least 40% of Karachi, the country’s largest city and advertising capital, has already developed COVID-19 immunity.
The study, entitled Challenges in the Acquisition of Collective Immunity against COVID-19, was accepted for publication through the Journal of Public Health at Oxford University Press.
An examination conducted through one of Pakistan’s largest laboratories reported that at least 33% of the country’s fitness professionals have developed immunity to the new coronavirus virus. The lab conducted tests on 15,000 fitness professionals across the country for the exam.
“We still can’t describe it as collective immunity. But the trend shows that a large number of the country’s population is inflamed and remains asymptomatic. Therefore, the virus does not locate enough healthy people to infect,” Shamsi said.
However, he warned that forgetfulness and hasty measures such as the reopening of tourism may just the opposite of the situation.
“The challenge is that we still don’t know what we don’t know about this virus. He teaches us new things every day. So, for the moment, care and precautions are the only cure for this virus,” he said. .
