The coronavirus is not going to stop its havoc across the world as Pakistan has again recorded a spike in Covid-19 cases as the country recorded 4,858 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, local media reported on Monday. The National Command and Operation Center said that the COVID-19 took 40 more lives in the last 24 hours. The COVID-19 death toll now reached at 23,462."Statistics 2 Aug 21: Total Tests in Last 24 Hours: 56,414 Positive Cases: 4858 Positivity %: 8.61% Deaths: 40," NCOC said in a tweet.
According to the NCOC, Pakistan's COVID-19 tally has risen to 1,039,695. Meanwhile, the positivity rate of infections was reported at 8.61 percent. Pakistan on Sunday forced a lockdown in various sectors of the capital due to a swell in the number of COVID-19 cases. According to a notification issued by the Islamabad district magistrate, the movement of residents will be limited to 27 streets in different sectors with a high Covid-19 positivity ratio.
"The citizens are requested to make prior arrangements for their convenience including ration, medicines and reschedule their engagements/office work before the onset of lockdown/sealing date and time," the notification read. This comes after the Sindh region forced a partial lockdown from Saturday till August 8 as the COVID-19 cases are increasing. Pakistan PM Imran Khan on Sunday slammed the partial COVID-19 lockdown imposed by the provincial government in Sindh as it went against the wishes of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led government.
