The Covid-19 virus was first detected shortly after 22-year-old Yahya Jaffery arrived from Iran. Little did he know that he would end up being the first carrier of the Covid-19 virus in Pakistan. Meanwhile, 32 people died of Covid-19 during the past 24 hours, surging the overall death toll to 12,804, said the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) on Friday. According to the NCOC, 1,541 fresh cases were reported during the aforementioned period, lifting the national tally of cases to 577,482. “However, much remains to be understood about the long-term, multi-system consequences of Covid-19 infections in children and adults, and the interventions required to treat them.”
