Pakistan has dropped to 61% of its COVID-19 high,

According to an infectious disease expert, Pakistan has dropped 61% of its COVID-19 high, and cases are on the decline as the world fights the third phase of the pandemic.

Dr. Faheem Younus, director of infectious diseases at the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health in the United States, made this comment after reviewing the available evidence.

He mentioned that the number of cases has dropped to 11/100,000 and published a graph from Reuters showing that Pakistan has dropped to 61% of its COVID-19 high, and cases are on the decline.


“That’s good. Stay at it until case counts are <5/100,000 and speed up vaccinations,” Dr. Younus advised.

According to Reuters’ daily coronavirus report on Pakistan, the total number of new infections recorded per day in Pakistan has dropped by more than 1,900 in the last three weeks, accounting for 34% of the previous high.

Since the pandemic began, the world has recorded 870,703 infections and 19,336 coronavirus-related deaths.

So far, Pakistan has distributed at least 3,705,244 doses of the COVID vaccine. Assuming that each individual requires two doses that is enough to vaccinate approximately 0.9 percent of the population.
