Asad Umar, Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives tweeted on Friday that signs of a fourth Covid-19 wave starting in Pakistan are clear..
“Two weeks ago, I had tweeted that our artificial intelligence models are showing the possible emergence of a fourth wave. Now there are clear early signs of a fourth wave starting.”

Umar blamed poor compliance with coronavirus-related standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the spread of virus variants, particularly the Delta variant that was first detected in India, for the looming fourth wave of Covid-19.
