KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that the coronavirus situation in the province is worsening, and 14 more patients have died.

He said that the people had to make the SOPs a part of their lives, or the government would have no option but to take some drastic measures.

This he said in a statement issued here from the CM House on Wednesday.

“We had 17 deaths stemming from the virus on November 4, 12 on November 6, and 14 on Wednesday,” he said and added: “our death rate is 1.8 percent which is not a high rate but even then we are losing valuable lives, and we have to reduce it by observing experts’ guidelines,” he said.

The CM said that 11,146 tests were conducted against which 720 cases were diagnosed that constituted 6.4 percent detection rate.

“This is quite high and worrisome and needs to be contained with the cooperation of the people of the province,” he said.
