Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar has said that people are coming on roads in huge numbers. It seems that they are celebrating end of coronavirus. War against corona is a collective responsibility. Only united nation can fight corona successfully. Due to non-seriousness of people, coronavirus cases are increasing day-by-day.
He was addressing a delegation headed by PTI leader Mian Waheed at Governor House on Saturday. The governor said that we as a nation pay tribute to doctors and paramedics who are not only fighting against corona valiantly, but also sacrificing their lives in war against corona.
They will always be remembered in history. War against corona cannot be fought on streets. It can only be fought by staying in homes. Pakistan has recorded highest per million casualties in South Asia in last 24 hours due to corona sprawl.
Our virus hot spots are not only limited to urban centers but also reached small cities and villages. We have no option except implementing and observing corona SOPs.
He also said that people of Jammu & Kashmir are offering prayers in stringer curfew imposed by fascist Modi government. He welcomed OIC condemnation of new Kashmiri domicile law. He added all Indian attempts of changing demographics in Jammu & Kashmir will be foiled. While commenting on locus attack on plants, he said, we are taking all preventive measures to dismantle deadly locust attack on plants in Punjab. Meanwhile, the governor also conducted his corona test which has come negative.
Until the World Health Organisation becomes able to get coronavirus vaccine developed, the governor said everyone needed to combat corona, while staying at home and avoid non-scientific methods of corona treatment circulating on social media. He said that any non-scientific method of treating corona could result in more harm than good.
As soon as the government lifted restrictions of lockdown, the governor regretted that all bazaars and markets had been stormed by people without seriously following the SOPs. He said people going to markets without observing SOPs were potential threat for their own families as they might take the virus to their homes.
He said the increase in number of corona patients in Pakistan might not be effectively handled by the existing healthcare system.
