Health Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Taimur Khan Jhagra said it was a priority of the government to find a way for traders to run their businesses.

Health Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had a marathon session with representatives of K-P traders at the K-P secretariat.

He thanked traders for working with the government, adding that the country cannot afford unrest at a time like this.

Everyone in the country and most of the world is going through a difficult time as never experienced before in our lives. He added.

He said Rest assured that we will find a way for your businesses to run. It is a priority. But let us take considered risk and not take decisions with unintended consequences. We will try our best to finalise a roadmap in this week. Thank you again for your collaboration.

Taimur Khan Jhagra in another tweet said a partnership between the government and society is essential at this crucial time.

He said although the lockdown has given the country extra time and prevented faster infection rates, the people will have to live like this until a vaccine is developed.

5. 6 districts remain case free. Upper & Lower Chitral; Upper & Lower Kohistan, Kolai Palas & Battagram. Along with the tribal districts, Tank, Lakki & Karak all have low case counts; these are all districts where we'll support administration to maintain the low case counts. pic.twitter.com/gNNdog5EcS

He said This serves to show that while the national lockdown has given us some time and has prevented faster infection rates, we need to be prepared to live with Corona until a vaccine is found. This will require a partnership between govt. and society like never before.

Earlier he congratulated all healthcare professionals, across all affiliations, for the excellent work they are doing. He thanked all for their support.
