Chairman National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Lieutenant General Muhammad Afzal said Pakistan has the testing facility available for 75-days to diagnose Corona virus or COVID-19 pandemic disease.

Addressing media after receiving medical equipment and goods from Chengdu, China at Islamabad International Airport along with Minister of State for Climate Change Zartaj Gul, he said it was invalid to narrate that existing number of tests conducted were less than the demand or capacity.

“The present 3,000 to 4,000 tests conducted per day has been done as per the measures of the provinces that can be increased further and is up to the provincial governments. We are increasing our present capacity for holding tests of COVID-19. Pakistan has the capability to hold 30,000-40,000 tests per day.”

Chairman NDMA said there was no shortage of testing kits and machines required to contain COVID-19.

He added that the medical equipment imported from China would be provided to all of the provinces. “NDMA has started supplying the medical equipment to the provinces on its own with the assistance of Pakistan Army.”

General Afzal said the doctors and paramedics were the frontline soldiers of the country in its fight against COVID-19, adding, “We assure our doctors and medical staff that they will not be left alone in this fight.”

He mentioned that in order to further improve the capacity of testing laboratories every lab would have 2-3 bio-labs.

He informed that all sorts of hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had received medical equipment whereas hospitals in Punjab would receive protective equipment tomorrow as the medical goods were released. “The consignment of medical has been prepared for Sindh and would be provided soon.”

However, the medical goods and equipment imported from China was brought through PIA’s 777 aircraft from Chengdu comprising 22 tonnes of supplies.

The equipment reached included 59 ventilators and 936 kilograms of surgical masks. It also had protective gowns alongwith 1720kg of cloth used in preparing masks and gowns.

There were also gloves and ready-made protective suits. Thermometers and safety glasses were also included in the equipment.

In Pakistan There are approximately 20 companies, which are manufacturing anthydroxychloroquine drugs. As per Drap record, there are around 25 million tablets and around 9,000 kilograms of raw material available in the market to produce drugs. The authority believes that the country has sufficient stock to meet any emergency.

TO IMRAN KHAN - THE SO CALLED PM OF PAKISTAN

Dear PM, when the F* are you going to end this drama of COVID-19 lock down? You have locked your people like animals on the behest of your Zionist Overlords. Millions of people in Pakistan live below poverty line and have to work daily to earn money to then buy basic essentials which by the way you have made expenses via your taxes and via inflation. Thousands of People will starve to death if they are not going to find work and earn.

Your Ehsas program is an absolute joke as it literally bypasses 99% of the people who absolutely deserve to be helped. People are suffering because of your idiotic and impractical programs. If this is the best you can do, you should hang your head in absolute shame. You and your idiotic ministers scamming the people like this is absolute disgrace. While you make speeches, your ministers loot by hoarding food.

Sweden is a shining example where they have refused to shut down they country on the behest of fraudsters from WHO, the US and other A-holes. Sweden is an advance country and shining example of how people should be treated and cared for, but it seems your little head just cannot grasp the reality.

You need to stop this scam, and follow Sweden's model and open up the country.

And lastly, I am very disappointed with the Armed Forces who have all the resources and expertise to adequately diagnose this COVID-19 scam BUT THEY HAVE KEPT QUIET. Why would you keep quiet when the country is getting economically destroyed is beyond comprehension. This raises a lot of questions, and one biggest question being - are YOU truly working for the people of Pakistan????

The tests are very expensive around 8000 per kit. They need to lower the price so that individuals who do not wish to go to a pubic hospital can get a test from private labs. This way the daily test ratio which is dangerously low under 3000 can be increased.

Yep, kinda seems like it..

KARACHI: The Sindh government on Saturday sealed 11 union committees (UCs) in Karachi’s district East in the wake of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) to prevent its spread to other localities.

Late in the evening there were media reports quoting government official as saying that the order to seal the localities had been withdrawn, but a spokesperson for the chief minister told Dawn that the localities remained sealed, while the city’s commissioner told this paper that only the affected parts of the localities would be completely locked down.

Do you think they dont know? they know hundred things more than me and you would ever be ever aware of.
As per my understanding , right now they are showing themselves as a 'good soldier' of WHO who doesn't question the "authority".As for lockdown, Pakistans society is not the same as Swedish, dont expect people to obey authorities like they do in regards to social distancing..however soon as the economy makes its stretch lockdown will be called off and results will be analyzed.In a way its good to see how much people follow govt. calls and take note of limitations for a future reference.Our exports to US will suffer either way whether we lockdown or not so there will be some downgradation, .however it will be tricky how IK manages it, only time will tell.

I have a feeling that there is something happening in the background in Pakistan. It appears that IK and those around him are not working in the national interests. So don't be surprised if in the next few days or weeks, a National Emergency Government is formed in Pakistan, and all Province Governments are dismissed and placed under Governor Rule.
