Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui on Thursday said that Pakistan and Iran are actively engaged with each other to deal with the spread of coronavirus.
Pakistan had confirmed its first two cases of the deadly contagion – medically named COVID-19 – on Wednesday night with the de facto federal health minister reassuring people “there is no need to panic”. During the weekly press briefing, the Foreign Office spokesperson said Pakistan’s embassy and two consulates in Iran are closely monitoring the situation and reaching out to the Pakistani community including the pilgrims and students.
