PESHAWAR: The Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and a team of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Peshawar on Thursday agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to facilitate the business community.
The agreement will be signed between SCCI and PIA. It is meant to provide better and timely facilities to the business community through the national flag carrier. This was stated during a meeting between SCCI President Sherbaz Bilour and a team of PIA Peshawar, headed by District Manager Saima Aslam at the Chamber’s House.
Manzoor Elahi and Junaid Altaf senior vice president and vice president of the chamber, PIA’s Samiullah and Muhammad Daud were present as well.
The concern, Aslambelieves, is more about the new strain spreading faster and more easily than its predecessor.
So is it here in the U.S.?
“That’s the issue, Aslam said. We haven’t been looking, and I think this will prompt us to start looking.
Knowing the genetic code found in the U.K. strain will help researchers search for it here.
So far, though, early data shows it is not causing more severe reactions to the virus.
“I think people should not be worried, Aslam said. I think the vaccines we have are effective, and, you know, if people are getting it over the summer, we have enough time if we need to update these vaccines.”
