Giving a press briefing on the situation of Corona virus in the country, Federal Minister for Development and Planning Asad Omar said that the number of deaths from Corona has increased in the last few days, with an average of 24 deaths being reported daily in just six days.
Asad Omar said that Corona in our region including Pakistan and India has not proved as deadly as Europe and America, we have to make decisions based on our situation and not the United States and other countries, to bring deaths from Corona to zero. Measures will be very deadly for economic life.
"Our healthcare system is better now than it was in the last two months. We are expanding the corona testing capacity and there are currently 55 laboratories in the country for corona testing," he said.
He said that there are 5,000 ventilators in the country at present and the work of making ventilators will start soon after which we will get more ventilators in June.
Asad Omar added that economic sanctions could lead to further increase in poverty, so economic sanctions for Pakistan are more deadly than the corona virus, while the challenges of hunger and poverty will increase, according to research institutes.
During the briefing, Federal Minister Asad Umar said that in the next one or two days, a cabinet meeting will be convened under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Imran Khan to take various decisions in which further strategy will be worked out according to the results of the blockade by May 9. The strategy after May will be decided by the National Coordinating Committee.
Asad Omar said that people ask how long the country will remain closed. I will tell the people not to allow our health system to be paralyzed, therefore we appeal to the people to take precautionary measures and keep everyone safe.
