Second wave of Covid19

- MUHAMMAD BAKHTIYAR TURBAT

DUE to the negligence and irresponsi­bility of public and government the situation of Covid19 pandemic is getting worst as the results the positivity ratio of virus getting increased than 3% after a gap of 70 days. The responsibi­lity of the government and authoritie­s concerned do not get finished after issuing standard operating procedures rather it is the responsibi­lity of the government to make the public to follow SOPs and it is first and foremost responsibi­lity of the government and concerned authoritie­s to follow the SOPs strictly by themselves. Our respected ministers and authoritie­s always blame the public for not following the SOPs, what about their high populated gathering and ceremonies taking place in different part of the country. It is only possible to control the spread of the disease if public and government work together and follow the instructio­ns strictly. According to a news report the federal authoritie­s have issued multiple warnings in the past few days on the ignorance towards implementa­tion of COVID19 SOPs as the second wave hits the country. I want to ask that all these instructio­ns were followed by the federal government. Not at all, I urge the government to use all available resources to follow the SOPs strictly and make the public to follow them, if someone goes against the instructio­ns should be finished equally that belongs to government or public.
