Karachi (HRNW) The rapid surge in Covid-19 cases has indicated the beginning of the fifth wave of the pandemic. And most of the cases have been reported from Karachi.
Karachi reported more than 75% of the coronavirus cases because the city was the most affected by Omicron, the new variant of Covid-19.
After the massive increase in cases in Karachi and Hyderabad, a task force meeting was chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.
They were briefed that 261 cases were reported in Sindh on December 4 but after one month the number increased to 403.
The CM directed the authorities to increase vaccinations in Karachi and Hyderabad and take action against those who violate SOPs.
According to experts, the new variant is spreading faster than Delta but as genome sequencing is rarely performed on patients in Pakistan they main assumption is that the rise in cases seems to be a result of the Omicron variant’s transmission.
