Sindh CM urges people to take precautionary measures against coronavirus
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said for the first time 1080 coronavirus cases in 24 hours have been reported in Sindh which is worrisome.
“We conducted 5,498 tests, out of which almost 20 per cent [1,080] results have come out as positive,” CM Murad said in a video message. He added that 583 cases are reported in Karachi whereas 277 cases in Pir Jo Goth village of Khairpur district.
He expressed concern over this exponential growth of Covid-19 cases in Pir Jo Goth village and urged people to adopt the principle of social distancing to stop the spread of the virus.
“This is a very small village where so many cases have been reported. The virus spread there because a woman went to Hyderabad and then came back”, Murad Ali Shah said “The cases are rising exponentially. We are in the second phase of the lockdown and have to take more precautionary measures.”
