‘Women can help protect families from virus’

Islamabad: Director General of the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) Dr Fouzia Saeed has said women can play a vital role in protecting their families from the novel coronavirus.

"Women should persuade their children to stay at home and avoid unnecessary activities outside, beside maintaining social distancing," she said in a message.

Dr Fouzia asked women to ensure their children avoid wasting time and concentrate on studies.

She said the PNCA had started a special live broadcast on its website to entertain the people at their homes.

The PNCA head praised the services of doctors, nurses and paramedical staff for being on the front line in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
