Four Pakistani students fully recover in China

Four Pakistani students who were reported to have been infected with coronavirus have completely recovered, claims a top official in the country. Dr Zafar Mirza, Special Assistant to the Pakistan Prime Minister on Health, on Wednesday confirmed that four Pakistani students that had developed coronavirus disease in China were fully recovered now. After recovery from the disease, they had been discharged from the hospital in China, Dr Zafar Murza said in a statement.

He also confirmed that 98 per cent of suspected cases of coronavirus in Pakistan has also fully recovered. “Some people were under observation for the virus across Pakistan. But all of their tests came negative,” he added. He said the government had reviewed the situation in the provinces and closely working with them to provide all assistance.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has set up its first quarantine centre at the Islamabad International Airport to effectively screen the passengers arriving from China or elsewhere.
