He further wrote that why our universities were silent spectators in this issue as we, as a nation, needed to initiate the research.
The federal minister earlier announced his coronavirus test reports that he was pleased to share with the world that his test reports for coronavirus detection came out negative.
He said, “Time between the taking of samples for testing and then getting the final reports were very tough on him and tested his patience and gratitude greatly.”
Chaudhry also urged people to just keep on practicing accurate sanitation and hygiene practices to defeat coronavirus.
