Infection Control Society Pakistan President Dr Rafiq Khanani told The Express Tribune that Covid-19 spreads slowly at first, but around the time that the outbreak reaches a duration of 50 days, it begins spreading faster. “A continuous increase in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths is being observed in Karachi and the rest of the province,” Khanani pointed out. “It is surprising that none of the hospitals carried out testing for these deaths,” he stated. He highlighted several ‘silent culprits’ that could help transmit the virus, such as mobile phones, pens, remote controls, garments, keychains, wallets, utensils and other such items.
