The minister was giving details of Covid infection patterns from last year to the National Command & Operation Centre meeting which she attended via zoom link here. Secretary Health Dr Kazim Jatoi and Deputy Secretary Dr Mansoor Wassan were also present. Due to people travelling back and forth for Eid Holidays, the risk of spreading infections is already considerable and we will see covid positive cases rising. The minister concluded that NPI’s should be maintained and not doing so will make things worse in regards to Covid.
