Shehbaz for enhancing testing capacity

PML-N President and National Assembly Opposition Leader says it is extremely crucial that the scope and circumference of new coronavirus testing and it should immediately be made free because identification and tracking of the disease is extremely crucial in saving the country from an uncontrollable outbreak.
In a statement on Sunday, Shehbaz renewed his call for removing covid19 patients from mainstream hospitals treating other diseases at large. He called for Marriage Halls, Schools and College buildings to be used as quarantine facilities without making the patients feel like untouchable lepers.
They must be treated with compassion rather than being dealt with like criminals. Shehbaz said that a report of the number of people tested every day and how many are screened must be shared with the nation daily. He said it is imperative to tell the truth as concealing information won't solve the crisis. He said that social distancing must be ensured at all cost and training of doctors, medical staff and police be prioritized. -PR
