Virus mortality rate in Pakistan augments by 140%?

ISLAMABAD:  Fed. Planning Minister Asad Umar, who also oversees Pakistan’s COVID-19 response, has warned here today that Pakistanis were collectively committing a blunder by recklessly ignoring all SOPs “and the results have started to show”.

According to him COVID-19 mortality rate in Pakistan has increased by 140% in the last week: “Last week daily covid mortality was 12. This is a 140% increase vs few weeks back. We are collectively committing a blunder by recklessly ignoring all sop’s & the results have started to show. If we do not change our current path we will lose both lives and livelihoods”.

It is pertinent to mention here that just yesterday (19th of Oct.) PM Imran Khan also warned that due to ignoring the SOPs, major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Faisalabad would experience a second coronavirus spike.
