KARACHI: Spokesperson of Sindh government and Advisor for Law, Environment & Coastal Development Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that coronavirus testing capacity in other provinces of Pakistan is less than Sindh while 12,004 tests were performed per million in Sindh which is the highest number.

He said there were 5,427 tests carried out per million in Punjab, 4,952 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 4,348 in Balochistan.

He said Sindh Government was working hard to prevent coronavirus while other provinces had less testing capacity due to which less cases were being reported. "We need to make a concerted effort to prevent the spread of the corona virus as the corona virus epidemic has taken a global toll," he added.
