The PM maintained, "InshaAllah, from now onwards if we follow SOPs we will see off the worst of this crisis."
The prime minister referred to an article published in Bloomberg which highlighted the effectiveness and approach adopted by European countries to impose smart lockdown. The article stated that European Union countries are experimenting with new ways of dealing with the coronavirus. Germany, Portugal and Italy have all enforced selective or “smart” lockdowns, shutting down smaller regions in response to new outbreaks as opposed to bringing their entire countries to a halt.
This approach is the only hope of returning to a more normal life as we wait for a vaccine, it stated. It said smart lockdowns require the collaboration of citizens while wearing masks and maintaining social distancing are two ways to reduce the risk of a new surge in cases.
