Crises come and go but what is always remembered is how nations dealt with it. The coronavirus disease also did not fail to bring out the best in Pakistanis. An 88-year-old anonymous donor has just gave the Sindh government a million rupees to beat COVID-19.
Pakistan, along with other countries has taken strict measures to defeat the deadly pandemic. The virus until today has already killed thousands of people worldwide and six in the country.
Sindh is currently under lockdown for the last two days after the PPP-led provincial government urged the citizens to remain indoors. However, many are out there to help support the provincial in these trying times.
On Tuesday, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah took to Twitter and announced the news of an anonymous donation to the Sindh Coronavirus Emergency Fund.
