Prime Minister said: “Putting on a mask is the most important thing in protecting oneself.”

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday urged the nation to strictly observe the standard operating procedures (SOPs), particularly the wearing of the mask to protect themselves and their families against the deadly third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I urge you all to wear a mask, and I appeal you to follow all the SoPs for your sake and for the sake of Pakistan,” Prime Minister Imran Khan said in an interaction with the people through telephone and was also aired live through news channels.

It was Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first public interaction after recovering from Covid19 and has since been working from his home office.

Imran Khan said it was Allah Almighty’s blessings that He protected us from the first two waves of the deadly wave of Coronavirus. He said despite vaccinating their people, countries in Europe were going in for lockdowns. He mentioned the impact of the third wave in neighbouring countries – India and Bangladesh and said “Putting on a mask is the most important thing in protecting oneself.”

“Put it on whenever you are in an enclosed room with people, in buses, everywhere,” and said the world today recognises it as an important protective measure.
