Governor Sindh Imran Ismail while sharing his experiences during 17-days isolation period due to Covid-19 has said that corona is not a disease which essentially culminates in death.
He said that the death ratio from corona virus is very nominal and its patients could defeat Covid-19 by adopting precautionary measures and SOPs in this regard.
The Governor said that natural herbs are helpful in curing the symptoms of corona virus and he himself used Sana Maki (Senna leaves) and ginger water during quarantine which helped him getting better. He said there is no authentic medicine or vaccine available for this virus and you have to be in constant contact with your pulmonologist for ensuring required oxygen saturation levels. It should not go below 92, as it could be fatal, he added and said that the same could be monitored at home with the help of oxy-metre.
Mr Imran Ismail said that Isolation period provides you an opportunity of self-assessment. You can go through various decisions, acts and things which you were not able to perform, he added.
He said that the isolation period makes you closer to our creator and we can thank Allah for HIS countless blessings upon us and also seek HIS forgiveness for our misdeeds.
The governor further said that although you are even away from your loved ones, and it seems to be a solitary confinement, but it is a blessing in disguise. You can do many things which you were unable to do, due to lack of time or concentration.
He said that these 17 days were tough but were a great experience which enhanced his vision and perspective about various matters. “I fully believe that there is always something behind all the things Allah gives us”, he remarked.
Mr Imran Ismail said that he is confident that these 17 days training would make him stronger and help him discharge his duties with even more zeal and zest.
