The total number of coronavirus cases in the country has risen to 52, out of which 34 are from Sindh.
About 13 people from Sukkur, who recently arrived from Taftan, have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, spokesperson for the Sindh government Barrister Murtaza Wahab said.

“These people were purportedly kept in quarantine at the border," he tweeted.
Earlier in the day, the Sindh health department had reported four new cases in Karachi.
Three of the patients had recently returned from Saudi Arabia, while one has no recent travel history, said Meeran Yousuf, the media coordinator to the health minister.
Meanwhile, Lahore Health Secretary Mohammad Usman confirmed the first case of coronavirus in Lahore, Punjab.

I Had seen Pakistani anchor Dr fiza khan mocking india on rise of corona cases on live event….I think it’s not expected on that level….she is insane bcz her behaviour was childish…
13 Iran walay hain
Don’t forget that these infected persons are Pakistanis so still we’ve time to save their life and keep our self safe too. Please don’t be hatred to these persons because they are human beings so it is our duty to pray for them.
It looks alarming situation. Government must take it seriously
These are gifts of Iran zaereen
Why the hell these shias don’t understand the situation? These folks coming from iran has indluged all pakistan in danger. If the cases were came frm saudi, these nominal shias would have criticised alot.
Iran always indluged us in danger.
#Note instead anything thet will react angry on my post.
We must focus on precaution as a priority. Our healthcare infrastructure isn’t developed enough to cope, our population is massive and most of them are illiterate and poor, therefore in our case prevention is definitely better than cure.
Just in 24 hours it’s 32 cases ?
Simply write that some test kits have been taken from china
Ajeeb jahil log h wahi ruk Q nh jaty sb k sb yaha aa k Q marr rhy h dosro ko bhi marny k lye..

مطالبہ۔۔۔

Any cases of community transmission (unknown case) ?
But we are clean and saum o salat k paband qaum. Humen kesye corona kag skta h?
Why are they allowing Zairen to return despite rising number of cases ??
What is the purpose of quarantine if they were not tested
I urge prime minister to read comment section of DAWN instead of calling cabinet meetings .
Quarantine all passengers – seal northern borders too
Y the hell they went to iran in recent days..r phir in mnhucon ko border k pas hi zinda dafna dety ..
All cases coming cause our government is letting everyone in..Well done
They should adopt harsh measures.
By putting COVID-19 patients in Labour colony, Sukkur. The 3rd largest city in population Sukkur is in critical situation.
Stay strong brother..prayer from Bangladesh.
اب بھگتو ۔۔یہ سارے وہی ہیں جو رشتہ داری اور سفارش سے سکریننگ کو بائی پاس کر کے آئے تھے ۔۔۔اب لوگ اپنی غیر ذمہ داری بھی وفاقی حکومت پہ ڈالینگے ۔
Lock the cities as soon as possible otherwise it will be very difficult for us to control
Locked the cities as soon as possible otherwise it seems difficult to control sxh a contagious disease
I in Punjab, reassure it
Halt all the international flights for 2 weeks. That’s the only solution. Some People who have recovered from COVID 19 have been tested positive again that means it can reoccur. Only solution is to keep the numbers minimal
First of all, Government of Pakistan should close border of both countries include Iran, Afghan and China, and also suspend flight operation.
ppl from iran should have been quarantined rather than leaving them free movement n travel throughout the country.
The more people come from other countries will surely increase corona in our country so it’s better not to allow return anyone
All the cases has history of foreign travelling still authorities leave them without quarantine why so incompetence keep them in a separate place whether they like it or not.
Sindh government should get their act together they can’t have wait and see policy declare emergency
The cases in Pakistan are increasing by 35-40% each day. If we take 37% factor, we’d have 1561 cases more after a week, and that’s just a rough estimation. If all the flight operations aren’t halted and strict preventive measure aren’t exercised, the multiplication factor might be 3-7 times of what it’s momentarily.
Government is fully responsible for this spread
It’s high time the government closes all the international borders and bans all the international flights. It’s a big decision but should be taken as soon as possible. Better safe now than sorry later.
All Government and military functionaries should straight away start a Big Campaign of hygiene promotion, solid waste and disposal.
Already you did not teach Civics in Schools otherwise Youth would have been Self Campaigning.
These are people who have been detected. But there could be many undetected cases which we don’t know of. We need to protect ourselves and everyone around us.
It is complete failure of federal govt, they said they cleared all people at taftan border and all were negative then how they became positive in Sindh?
Shame of you Zafar Mirza federl health ministers…
Saudi and Iran thank you for this life loss gift
Both the countries, saudi and Iran, has been behind a greater chunk of the mess in our dear Homeland for decades.
The more you Test, The more TRUE stats you’ll get. Governments should’ve screened ALL passengers much earlier. Just checking some people from specific countries for months is the problem.
It’s too late now. The economy is getting quiet a hit, Hope there isn’t a Recession now.
Its alarming
Govt playing key role to stop this covid19 but at the same time Our defence minister was busy in a huge public gathering in Nowshehra yesterday despite all sort of bans . Its just ridiculous
