LAHORE: Punjab police on Tuesday put Raiwind city under quarantine and shut down all general and medical stores, while no one is being allowed to leave their homes, Geo News reported.
Even now more than 2,200 people of the Tableeghi Jamaat are present in the gathering, police said. Adjacent to Raiwind city is a Tableeghi mosque where it was suspected that 50 people have contracted the virus. Upon screening, it was discovered that 27 do have the virus. Many people have either been shifted to Kala Shah Kaku quarantine facility or a quarantine facility in Kasur. A team of doctors is currently continuing testing of people to ascertain whether there are more people infected.
In Sindh, the provincial police chief, Mushtaq Mahar, issued directives to police to quarantine Tableeghi Jamaat members wherever they find them in the province. Mahar said police should ensure Tableeghi Jamaat members are provided food rations.
As many as 550 members of Tableeghi Jamaat, including 26 foreigners from Indonesia, Tunis, Nigeria, Afghanistan, China and other countries, were quarantined in Sukkur and Hyderabad mosques after one confirmed coronavirus case was reported in Hyderabad among one of their colleagues.
