PESHAWAR: The two-day a week lockdown, re-imposed by the provincial government three weeks ago, is yet to make any impact regarding reduction in Covid-19 cases and mortalities as 33 more people have died of the pandemic including a senior physician and 1,294 cases have been reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The rate of positivity for coronavirus swabs has also increased during the third wave of the pandemic despite enforcement of precautionary measures by the administration. The government, on the recommendation of National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), imposed lockdown on March 20, initially in five districts that later was extended to 11 districts a week.
