The number of confirmed coronavirus cases has surged to 272,619 in Pakistan, while the death toll stands at 5,842.
Pakistan’s daily coronavirus tally continued to fall, as the country recorded few new cases over the past 24 hours, the lowest single-day sum since May.
However, health experts cautioned that a sharp fall in the number of COVID-19 cases could be the result of fewer tests. Neighboring India, hardest hit by the virus in the region, is currently doing 15 times more tests daily than Pakistan.
