ISLAMABAD: President Dr. Arif Alvi has responded to the criticism regarding N-95 mask raised by medical professionals, who claimed that personal protective equipment (PPE) was being misused by politicians.
President Alvi took to Twitter today (Thursday) and said, “As a doctor, I am strongly aware of misuse and wastage. I was reusing the N-95 mask that was given to me in China.”
The President further said, “Finally its strap broke yesterday so in the next meeting at Wing Commander Nouman Akram Shaheed’s house, you see me wearing a regular public mask,” adding, “I hope my clarification finds equal billings.”
