NOWSHERA: A patient died of Covid-19 while 104 more tested positive for viral infection in the district on Thursday.
With the new casualty, the fatalities from the coronavirus reached 72 in the district.
Said Akbar, 85, a resident of Dag Ismailkhel, who was infected by Covid-19 died while battling for life at a hospital.
Sources said that 90 percent of beds at the Qazi Medical Complex were occupied by the patients infected by coronavirus.
They said that there will be a shortage of beds at the hospital if the patients’ inflow continued in the same momentum.
Deputy Commissioner Mir Reza Ozgen said that the number of coronavirus-infected patients were increasing with passage of time as people were ignoring the standard operating procedures (SOPs) against the viral infection.
