PM Imran Khan urged the nation to celebrate Eid-ul-Azha with simplicity.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan, while urging the nation to celebrate Eid-ul-Azha with simplicity and continue following standard operating procedures (SOPs), has said that coronavirus cases in hospitals and death rate in Pakistan have gone down.
The premier took to Twitter on Friday and said Pakistan is amongst the fortunate countries where COVID-19 cases in hospitals, especially in intensive care and death rate have gone down, unlike in our unfortunate neighbor India.
This positive trend has been the result of our smart lockdown policy and the nation observing government SOPs, he added.
“I urge the nation to continue observing SOPs essential to sustain our positive trend. Eid-ul-Azha must be celebrated with simplicity so as not to repeat what happened last Eid when SOPs were ignored and our hospitals were choked. I am ordering strict implementation of government SOPs.”
