coronavirus

The coronavirus  has grabbed the world and has spread exponentially across the world. It started in China’s Wuhan city and spread across the world.  No country has found  any vaccination to cure the lethal virus.  This has caused severe panic and warning across the world.  Currently, the corona virus situation has  become cautionary globally.

Globally, 559,103 cases have been reported, 25,277 have died due to this virus. In Pakistan, the situation has also  been sparingly worsening as a total of 1298 cases have emerged in the country and it has caused 9 deaths in the country thus far. Meanwhile, it is also important to note that  China and the USA are under blame game and have been seen to accuse each other for the cause of spread of Covid-19. However,  the US and other resource-intensive countries have also  failed to design any vaccination against this virus. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also termed this virus as ‘Pandemic’ on March 9, 2020 and it had also directed cautions of its exponential increase  for the masses across the world.

Everyone is  directing and advising for self-quarantine, but it is not suffiencient cure to this novel coronavirus. It needs certain nutrients to intake. Prime minister Imran Khan has also asked masses  for self quarantine in his address to nation.

صورتحال کاتقاضا ہے کہ عوام آگے بڑھیں اور اپنے ہم وطنوں کو کرونا جیسی آفت سے محفوظ بنانے کی تحریک میں ہمارا ہاتھ بٹاتے ہوئے کسی حکومتی فرمان کا انتظار کئے بغیر ہی اپنے آپ کو ازخود گھروں تک محدود رکھیں اور رضاکارانہ لاک ڈاؤن کی راہ اختیار کریں کیونکہ

"جو محدود ہے۔۔۔وہ محفوظ ہے"

— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) March 22, 2020
