How Pakistan deals with pandemic
Pakistani nation spends life under lockdown.
Earlier, Pakistan government has adopted strict measures to prevent deadly virus spread.
It established COVID-19 Relief Tiger Force. They would assist the government in tackling the coronavirus crisis.
On March 30, 2020, Prime Minister announced establishment of Corona Relief Tiger Force.
He said Corona Relief Tiger Force will work in collaboration with civil administration and army.
Together they would contain the spread of corona virus.
He said a cell is working in the PM Office round the clock to monitor the situation closely.
PM Imran Khan has urged the nation to get united to make the fight against coronavirus successful.
He said the only country that has remained successful so far in this struggle is China that put 20 million people under lockdown to overcome the killer bug.
He said if Pakistan had similar situation like China, he could have shut down the whole cities. However, twenty five percent of our population lives under the poverty line and additional twenty percent is on the borderline.
However, he made clear no lockdown can be successful if people become unemployed and have nothing to eat.
Moreover, PM Khan said corona virus does not distinguish between rich and poor and everyone will have to play their role in its success.
