Sindh Minister for Information, Local Government, Housing & Town Planning, Religious Affairs, Forest and Wildlife Syed Nasir Hussain Shah on Friday thanked people from all walks of life for cooperating with the Sindh government in this difficult time.
The minister said that the Sindh government would take every possible step to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and protect its people. He also expressed hope that the country would get rid of this pandemic soon. He said this while talking to the journalists after inspecting the spray campaign at Cantt Station and other areas on Friday.
"The Sindh government is doing all it can to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Now we need the help of the people in implementing precautions that can assist in preventing the spread of the virus," Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said.
The minister said that the effective way to keep ourselves safe from getting affected with the coronavirus was precaution.
"The more cautious people are, the more likely they are to be safe," he said. The Minister said that the Sindh government was working with medical experts to find the best possible solution to stop the spread of coronavirus. All the health advice was being issued after detailed consultations, he added. While speaking about the basic preventive measures Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said although the government was adopting all possible measures to protect the people from getting affected by coronavirus yet at the same time people should also wash their hands with soaps and use hand sanitizers. He said that people should also avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
On this occasion, the provincial minister washed his hands in a camp set up near Bilawal Chowrangi.
Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that so far 25 centers had been set up by the Solid Waste Management Board in Karachi, where people could come and obtain hand sanitizers and soaps.
He said that in total 88 such centers would be opened where people could not only obtain soaps and sanitizers, but they could also come and wash their hands to avoid getting affected by coronavirus.
In response to a question, he said that people should make a pledge to avoid social gatherings for a few days and it would be better for them if they did not go to crowded places.
"By taking these precautions, not only will they protect themselves from getting affected by coronavirus, but they will also protect their loved ones from the virus," he said.
Answering another question, Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that it was up to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf members of the Sindh Assembly whether to donate their one-month salary to the fund announced by the Chief Minister of Sindh or not.
As far as the members of the Sindh cabinet were concerned they were definitely going to be donating a month's salary to the fund, he said.
