LAHORE: In what appears to be a satisfactory development, the Punjab government on Sunday discharged around 100 quarantined people, a majority of whom were preachers of the Tableeghi Jamaat, from a quarantine centre set up in District Public School (DPS) in Kasur. Sources told Pakistan Today that the district administration arranged six coaster buses for their return to their areas and said that the suspected patients were cleared to go home after they tested negative. It is pertinent to mention here that ten Nigerian preachers, including five women, were discharged on April 4 from the same quarantine centre as they were tested negative for coronavirus. According to the district administration, the discharged Nigerians were shifted to Raiwind to get their passports. Talking to Pakistan Today, one of the discharged pilgrims said that the district administration had made exemplary arrangements for all the housed suspects in the quarantine centre.
