Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday urged the people of Pakistan to strictly follow the COVID-19 guidelines, warning that another nationwide lockdown will be imposed if the spiralling coronavirus crisis continues to worsen.
Addressing the nation after chairing a meeting of the National Coordination Committee, the highest national forum to tackle the pandemic, Khan said the Army has been asked to help police to implement the social-distancing guidelines in the country to contain the spread of coronavirus.
"I am appealing to you to follow SoPs so that we don't have to take steps that India is taking which means imposing lockdowns,' he said, adding that half the problem will be solved if people started wearing face masks.
