Ag APP
ISLAMABAD: National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) chief Asad Umar on Thursday voiced his opposition to doctors’ calls for a complete lockdown in Karachi which has seen its coronavirus positivity ratio surge to 30 per cent – stressing it was “not the solution”.
“In the past one year, we have learnt that shutting down had not worked and it won’t work now. So the only way forward is to vaccinate and follow SOPs,” Umar said with regard to the Pakistan Medical Association’s call for a 15-day lockdown in the metropolis after hospitals filled up with Covid patients infected with what authorities say is the highly contagious Delta strain of the virus.
