Pakistan crossed 2,000 new positive coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time since the outbreak earlier this year, SIA reports.
The increase comes just days after Prime Minister Imran Khan eased lockdown restrictions and stepped up the return of Pakistanis stranded overseas, ignoring pleas for stricter controls by Pakistan’s medical professionals.
Scenes of crowds of people crammed into markets throughout the country greeted the let up in restrictions despite the government’s call for safe distancing, which has been largely ignored by many of Pakistan’s 220 million people.
The latest figures show 34,312 positive cases following a 24-hour high of 2,255 new cases with a reported death toll of more than 730.
