A Infected Person With Corona Virus Can Recover? | Update

While the first two people to have acquired coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Pakistan are well on the path to recovery, another two were confirmed as having contracted the disease on Saturday — one in Islamabad and the other in Karachi.

“Four persons are now being treated for COVID-19 in Pakistan; one in Sindh and the other in the federal area,” the PM’s Special Assistant on National Health Services Dr Zafar Mirza announced at a joint press conference also addressed by Minister for Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan here at the National Institute of Health.

“All four patients are being handled according to clinical protocols. Contact tracing is underway, and we will make sure that all concerned are well taken care of,” Dr Zafar stated. Withholding specific details, Dr Zafar urged the media too not to publicise personal information of people, and to respect their privacy in line with medical and journalistic ethics.

Sharing a case update, Dr Zafar said, one of the first two persons to have been diagnosed with COVID-19 has recovered to the extent of being discharged from hospital quite soon, while the other is also showing marked improvement. “Pakistan was the 48th country in the world and the last in the region to have acquired the disease among 57 countries currently grappling with the virus. The fact that all our neighboring countries acquired the infection before us shows that effective measures were in place at our Ports of Entry,” Dr Zafar stated.
