Majority of corona patients in Punjab carry mild symptoms: Dr Yasmin

Punjab Health Minister Dr. Yasmin Rashid Sunday said that in Punjab, the number of critical corona patients were not higher as the maximum corona patients carried mild symptoms of novel virus. She said that Pakistan would not go through the drastic chaos like European countries faced as the government has tackled pandemic wisely. However, despite the less numbers of critical patients people must follow the safety measures.
In Punjab, 11 people were died due to corona but mostly were more than 55 of age, or already suffering from chronic diseases, she said. "We have fully locked down the suspected areas to contain the disease and no movement was allowed in Jehlum and Pindi Gheb," she said. Mostly patients were those who attended large congregations or had traveled history, yet many people received the contagion from the acquaintances who returned from abroad, she said. She said through locking down the suspected areas the country hopefully would defeat the viral disease.
