Karachi: Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry has warned that the government could be compelled to impose a complete lockdown in the country if there was no decline in surge in coronavirus cases in one week.
Addressing a press conference here at Sindh Governor House, Chaudhry said that there would be serious consequences for the health care system of Pakistan if the present 11 per cent ratio of detection of coronavirus cases persisted just for one or one-and-half-week more.
“Our government has been doing its best since last one year to avoid the situation of complete lockdown in the country as such a decision creates serious repercussions for our daily wage earners and traders,” Chaudhry said.
