Karachi (HRNW) Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has once again appealed to the public to adhere to the restrictions during the lockdown that he says will be stricter than before.
“The lockdown will be more intense in the next 14 days,” CM Shah said while addressing a press conference in Karachi on Wednesday.
He emphasised that the reason all provinces have agreed to increase the lockdown is because our combat with the novel coronavirus isn’t over yet.
“People should know that the danger hasn’t gone. Across Pakistan, approximately 10% results of total tests conducted have come back positive,” he said.
“If anyone thinks that the infection in Pakistan is less intense than other countries, then they are wrong.”
He added that these companies will provide transport to their employees and the vehicles used for this purpose will be filled only one third so that a social distancing can be maintained.
According to Shah, as of Wednesday, 1,668 known coronavirus cases have been reported in Sindh and 41 deaths. The mortality rate in Sindh is 2.4%.
He said 133 people recovered from the virus while six patients have died in the last 24 hours.
He said a stigma about the coronavirus is developing in the country, due to which at least 15 to 20 more people could have died of it, but we don’t have them on record because many families are burying their dead without informing the authorities.
