The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has released new instructions in an effort to manage the resurgent Coronavirus in time for Eid-ul-Azha, which is quickly approaching.
In the NCOC meeting that took place earlier today, the revised Coronavirus SOPs were finalized. The conference evaluated the nation’s overall COVID-19 status and raised grave worries about it.
All of the decisions made during the NCOC meeting earlier today are listed below:
Eid prayers must be done outside while strictly adhering to the 6-foot social distance rule and using a facemask.
To ensure a minimal turnout, Eid prayers at one location should be scheduled in numerous shifts at different times.
To reduce the risk of contracting a viral virus, the Eid sermon will be brief.
To prevent crowding, there should be several access and departure points created. There will be hand sanitizers provided at the entrance and exit locations.
Staying at home is advised for elderly folks, children under the age of 15, immunocompromised individuals, and other vulnerable adults.
Bring your prayer mat, do your ablution at home, and refrain from embracing or shaking hands after Eid prayers.
The NCOC has also encouraged the public to avoid crowding public spaces and to adhere to Coronavirus SOPs while distributing meat in addition to the SOPs for congregational Eid prayers.
However, after the National Institutes of Health (NIH) identified 653 new cases of COV-19 earlier today, Pakistan’s national Coronavirus positive percentage fell to 3.45 percent.
As a result of the NIH’s confirmation of 675 more cases and 2 fatalities brought on by the coronavirus on Monday, the country’s positive rate was 4.61 percent.
