ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar on Wednesday warned of imposing tougher restrictions if violations of coronavirus standard operating procedure (SOPs) continues amid the second Covid-19 wave.
Speaking to the media after a meeting of the NCOC, Planning and Development Minister Asad Umar warned Covid-19 cases will go up if health guidelines are not adhered to, piling pressure on hospitals.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan will preside over a meeting of the National Coordination Committee (NCC), to be attended by the chief ministers of all the provinces, to take stock of the present coronavirus situation.
Pakistan successfully overcame the first wave of the pandemic and the country can overcome the second wave by adhering to the Covid SOPs, said Umar, adding that National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) has witnessed 60 deaths per day on average and a 4 percent increase in corona patients during the last two months.
