The minister reviewed all steps taken to control the spread of the disease and deal with the rising number of cases in Punjab. He said that in view of increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the province, the status of intensive care units (ICUs), High Dependency Units, ventilators, life-saving medicines and other facilities was being reviewed regularly.

We have to win this battle at any cost. The private sector must be alerted to remain prepared for any kind of emergency situation.” Secretary SH&ME Barrister Nabeel Awan gave a briefing to the minister on measures taken across the province for prevention of coronavirus and treatment of patients.
