Pakistan, for the first time since the start of the Corona pandemic, recorded more than two hundred deaths from the virus in one day, as the government said it was considering imposing more stringent general isolation measures.
Reuters quoted the National Center, which oversees the government's management of the pandemic crisis, as saying today that “With 201 new deaths recorded yesterday, the total number of deaths in the country due to the disease rose to 17,530, while the total number of injuries increased to 8,10,231 after 5,292 new infections were recorded.
The Pakistani authorities imposed strict measures in a few cities that recorded the highest levels of corona infection this week, while Minister of Health Faisal Sultan warned that the scope of such steps could be expanded to include other areas if people did not adhere to recommendations for spatial distancing and putting masks and other precautionary measures, especially during the month of Ramadan and with The approaching Eid Al-Fitr holiday next month.
