KARACHI: Sindh government Spokesperson Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Wednesday said the coordination that should have existed between the federal and the provincial governments with regards to coronavirus was lacking. So far 20 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Pakistan, 15 of which have emerged in Sindh. “Those who tested positive were immediately shifted to isolation wards and their contacts were quarantined and even today we are monitoring this,” the Sindh government’s spokesperson said. Pointing to the federal government’s lukewarm response in light of the crisis, Wahab said CM Shah had to “contact the prime minister’s special assistant to engage with all the provinces via a conference call”. “On the Sindh chief minister’s request a meeting was held,” he said, adding that no other provincial chief executive attended the meeting.
