Khyber Pakhtunkhwa spokesperson Ajmal Wazir on Tuesday expressed satisfaction on the situation in the province due to measures taken against the coronavirus outbreak.
The KP minister, in a statement, cautioned that those hoarding edibles etc will be sternly dealt with.
“There is no shortage of wheat in the province,” he said.
While referring to a street quarantined in Hayyatabad due to the death of a coronavirus patient who lived there, Wazir said that now the restriction has been lifted.
Earlier on March 9, the district administration in Peshawar had quarantined a street near the Canal road as a coronavirus patient, who lived there, died.
With 221 confirmed cases, KP has witnessed six coronavirus-related deaths. One more death was reported earlier today.
A notification from the provincial government said earlier today that Outpatient departments (OPD) in the province will be closed for 13 days.
“OPDs in the province will remain close from April 1 to April 13 to stop the spread of the virus,” added the notification.
