PM Imran fears Indian virus variant could spread in Pakistan

Prime Minister Imran Khan encouraged people to get vaccinated against coronavirus on Thursday, citing the availability of sufficient vaccine supplies. He raised concerns that an Indian virus variant could spread to Pakistan.

On June 25, the number of daily Covid-19 instances reduced from four to three, according to the government’s Covid-19 website. The number of daily reported cases remained at 900 until June 27, then reduced to 735 on June 28. The number of instances progressively increased after that, eventually doubling in just one week.

The prime minister said that the coronavirus is constantly changing its form and the biggest problem for the world, including Pakistan, is the virus that spreads from India.

“If we managed to contain the fourth wave, we will save the country from devastation,” he said.

When you impose a lockdown, the most affected segment is poor, and for the sake of our people, our economy, and our elders, I urge everyone to wear masks,” he appealed.

He remarks that Bangladesh and Indonesia had imposed strict lockdowns, adding that we need to take measures to prevent that situation from clutching us. Also the government had to ensure that sacrificial animals on Eidul Azha should be slaughtered at outside cities to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
