Across the country, as many as 730 more cases were registered Tuesday. Many of the deaths occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where 114 people have died so far, while the figure is 100 in Punjab and 92 in Sindh. The number of reported cases of COVID-19 in Pakistan rose to 14,680, despite reports of new infections.

The overall reported cases climbed to 14,680, with Sindh recording 5,291 incidents, Punjab 5,730, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 2.160, Balochistan 853, Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) 261, Gilgit-Baltistan 320 and Azad Jammu and Kashmir 65 at 10:44pm.

The death count rose to 322, with 114 deaths in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 92 deaths in Sindh, 14 deaths in Balochistan and three deaths in Gilgit-Balistan.

Sharing the global case report here in his televised briefing, Special Assistant to the Health Prime Minister Dr. Zafar said there were more than 3 million reported Covid-19 incidents worldwide, with 214,111 fatalities and 944,104 recoveries.

He said Pakistan had carried out 157,000 tests so far, leading to proof of 14,680 cases with just 751 new cases added in the last 24 hours.

Sindh recorded highest cases (341) in a day while 194 were registered by Punjab, KP 120, Balochistan 72, Islamabad 16, AJK 6, and GB 2

Although in Pakistan over 3,000 patients have achieved full recovery, in the last 24 hours 20 have succumbed to the disease, which is the highest number of deaths in a day.

Dr. Zafar said deaths would be perceived from a wider viewpoint.

“We have seen 16 to 17 fatalities every day over the last two weeks; as such, the good thing is that there was no substantial change in the total deaths during the span of study.

Mortality evidence is the most reliable method for presenting a country’s true picture of an epidemic. It is on the basis of this data that we take certain decisions, “he said.

In conclusion, the SAPM advised the public to take all measures possible.

“Control of this disease rests in your hands. Evite busy areas, stick to SOPs and stop mosques, “he added.

Dr. Zafar said that frontline healthcare staff who fall in the service line should be entitled to all privileges and rewards enshrined in the current ‘Shuhada Kit’ for government servants who accept martyrdom thus safeguarding home country stability.

The plan would fall into force, accompanied by Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan in the federal capital.
