The government on Thursday advised the citizens to avoid outdoor celebrations on the occasion of New Year night and follow non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) or safety guidelines to prevent contracting Coronavirus.
As per the National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) update 58 people had succumbed to the deadly virus with 2,475 infected in the past 24 hours.
The disease spread was not shrinking rather observing a persistent increase where public complacency in observing NPIs could further aggravate the situation.
The public was advised to avoid unnecessary gatherings and celebrations resulting increased human exposure and interaction as virus transmissibility was maximum in such positions.
