Pakistan has reported zero deaths related to the coronavirus pandemic for the second consecutive day.
According to the data released by the National Command and Control Centre (NCOC), a total of 30,054 tests were carried out in the last 24 hours and of them, 210 were tested positive while the overall positivity ratio remained at 0.69 per cent as compared to the 1.28 per cent a day earlier.
According to the NCOC, a total of 445 patients were in critical condition in hospitals across the country.
The NCOC said that no Covid-19-related death was reported in the last 24 hours and this was for the second time in almost two years.
Pakistan has already announced to lift all the Covid-19 related restrictions across Pakistan after a dip in cases.
Covid-19 infections are decreasing in Pakistan, with 391 new infections reported on average each day. That’s 5 per cent of the peak — the highest daily average reported on January 30.
There have been 1,522,862 infections and 30,333 coronavirus-related deaths reported in the country since the pandemic began.
Pakistan has administered at least 219,368,557 doses of Covid vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 50.6 per cent of the country’s population.
Pakistan averaged about 475,805 doses administered each day. At that rate, it will take a further 92 days to administer enough doses for another 10% of the population.
“The pandemic has not ended yet but undergoing the ending phase,” Federal Minister for Planning and Development and Special Initiatives Asad Umar had said earlier while addressing a press conference at the NCOC.
As Covid-19 infections began to be reported around the world, many countries responded by shutting down places like schools, workplaces and international borders to contain the spread of the virus.
