PM convey message to public by saying that half of the hospitals are
going to be filled and cases are still growing up day by day and patient are going to ventilator. If we will not take step to stop outdoor activities then it will keep on spreading and we cannot control it.
It’s time to implement smart lock, follow SOPS, stand at a distance to 6 feet, use masks and sanitizers. These preventive measures are not just for ourselves but for other lives as well.
Its duty of every Pakistan to play his or her role to combat this disease and defend peoples.
