ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan High Commissioner to Canada Raza Bashir Tarar on Saturday wrote to the Canadian government for reconsidering its decision of suspending all passenger flights from Pakistan for 30 days.
The high commissioner, in a letter to Canadian Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra, drew attention to the fact that Pakistan, like all other countries, had been facing the epidemic but it had managed it well due to its strategy of smart lockdowns.
He said that Pakistan’s Covid related positive cases were 5,870 on Friday but in the Canadian announcement, Pakistan was bracketed with a country that had recorded 332,503 cases on the same day, a clear reference to India where overwhelmed hospitals in the densely-populated country begged for oxygen supplies.
