Saeed Ghani’s Proposition!
The education minister proposed the idea of being prepared for what’s to come next. He added that Pakistan does not possess the obligatory equipment and resources to hold the virus at bay. However, if the virus outspreads, there must be isolation camps and quarantine facilities ready to treat the patients.
Ghani suggested evacuating hostels within the metropolis area. Since the hospitals within the city cannot accommodate a colossal amount of patients. He said: “The panic over the virus and the speed at which the number of cases is growing, subsequently, it is obvious that we cannot accommodate patients in all the hospitals.”
“Firstly, may God does not take us to such a stage. On the contrary, if need be, the provincial government will distribute masks to citizens,” Ghani added.
Fearing about the imminent deaths this virus has caused, Ghani said: “We will try our best to create awareness about the precautions [against coronavirus] among the people.”
