(Karachi) The National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) reported on Thursday that there has been a rapid increase in the COVID-19 positive cases across Pakistan, which is a matter of concern for policymakers.
A meeting of the NCOC was held in Islamabad to review the emerging COVID-19 situation in the country.
The forum was apprised that there has been an increase in the COVID-19 positive cases across Pakistan, though the overall situation remains stable.
The NCOC also decided to formulate a comprehensive plan to counter resurgence of coronavirus cases.
The participants were informed that there has been a marked decline in following health guidelines on wearing of masks, social distancing and 'no mask no service' protocols.
The statement further said that social events and large public gatherings, particularly in restaurants and marriage halls, have been identified as higher risk activities where guidelines are not being followed as directed by health experts.
