Pakistan’s coronavirus tally jumps to 5830
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Pakistan rose to 5,830 on Tuesday after new cases were confirmed in the country.
Pakistan’s death toll from the new coronavirus rose to 100 after five more patients lost their lives in the last 24 hours, health authorities said today.
Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Health Dr Zafar Mirza said at least 50 percent of the new coronavirus cases were due to local transmission, urging people to restrict social contact to flatten the curve.
Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, he said, “The last 24 hours were heavy, 14 people died. We warned you this would happen,” and added that this was why the government was emphasising on the importance of social distancing, staying at home and ensuring proper hand hygiene.”
