LARKANA:As many as 160 citizens have been infected with coronavirus during the past 20 days and six have expired in the last 12 days, of them two were women and four men. Out of these six people, two belonged to Qambar, one to Khairpur and three were from Larkana, credible sources told PPI here Saturday
These sources said that 19 patients are admitted in the ICU at the moment out of them 13 belong to Larkana and six to other districts of Larkana division. The ICU has the capacity of 25 beds out of which 19 are occupied and six are vacant.
It must be mentioned here that citizens are not observing prescribed SOPs of social distancing and wearing facemasks, hence, COVID-19 third wave is rapidly spreading for which the authorities have urged the residents to fully implement SOPs to keep themselves safe and healthy so that further spread of the virus could be curbed and emerging of new cases could be halted.
The assistant commissioner Larkana Ahmed Ali Soomro has been conducting surprise raids on the bazaars and markets but all in vain. The district administration will have to take foolproof measures to save residents from the virus.
