It should be remembered that Pakistan reported 1,123 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, the highest in over three months. On the other hand, 12 patients lost the battle against the contagious virus.

Federal authorities have issued several warnings in the last few days on the ignorance towards following coronavirus SOPs after the country faces the second wave.

NCOC issued new rules regarding the closure of wedding halls and shopping malls.

Umar said in a tweet, “NCOC has tightened restrictions on some high-risk public activities but the rising spread of the disease can only be controlled if people believe in the need for precautions.”
