The positivity ratio, which is the percentage of positive cases out of the total number of tests conducted, was reported to be 0.72% with 1,524 tests conducted throughout the country on Monday. The number of patients in critical care remained low at eight.
It’s worth noting that just two years ago in 2021, Pakistan reported a record number of COVID-19 deaths, which led to the government sending troops to enforce coronavirus precautions. However, the vaccination efforts in Pakistan are progressing significantly with millions of vaccine doses administered so far.
