A doctor who spearheaded the fight against COVID-19, or the coronavirus pandemic, in Gilgit-Baltistan has died, the region's spokesperson confirmed late Sunday.

The medic's death was confirmed by GB government spokesperson Faizullah Faraq who did not, however, specify whether he doctor died of the virus or other causes.

The doctor had been active in the screening of patients coming into the region from Taftan and had been lauded for his bravery.

"It is with extreme sadness that the Gilgit-Baltistan health department confirms that Dr Usama Riaz who played a key role in the war against coronavirus has passed away," a post from the Twitter account of the GB government's information department read.

The department added that the doctor would be declared a martyr and said he would officially be declared a national hero.

Gilgit-Baltistan has thus far reported a total of 55 cases of the coronavirus. The national tally rose to 761 on Sunday.

May he rest in peace.
 
Its actually came from Iran

what is it with this stupid conspiracy running around. even in coronavirus certain Saudi supported sects like to invent things to blame shias and Iran....

Supposedly the new conspiracy is that shia pilgrims from Iran brought it into Pakistan... Because looking at the map. and seeing virtually every country on earth has it now, including some remote arctic regions.

If it weren't for those damn shia pilgrims supposedly bringing covid. Pakistans impenetrable airtight coronavirus shield would have held it off.... a unique example the world would have envied..


How stupid, uneducated, sectarian and just DUMB does someone have to be to believe that sort of Saudi madrasa pupil propaganda? SERIOUSLY?
 
I went on a drive this morning on Lahore ring road, awaam is out and about, there are cricket matches happening in grounds and people are out with families. I will blame only one person here, that's the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He's letting it all slip out of our hands.

You yourself went out on drive, and then start blaming everyone else for not being at home.
 
HydroxyChloroquine has been formally suggested by the Indian medical association for caretakers of the Corona virus patients. But self medication is a strict no.

First, I didn't blame anyone but the Prime Minister for not enforcing a lockdown. Secondly, I was in my car, my personal space, didn't interact with anyone, so the comparison is stupid. Some of us don't have the liberty to 'work from home', even on a public holiday.

There's no personal space once you are out of home, if you were going to work on public holiday then you would have mentioned that in your previous post instead of saying I went on drive. Now, you can claim whatever you want in cyber world.
