Punjab Law and Social Welfare Minister Raja Basharat has said that the only cure for the coronavirus pandemic is effective implementation of government SOPs.

Talking to the media here on Sunday, he said the prime minister was the biggest advocate of the poor man in such difficult times. He lamented the main reason for the current situation of coronavirus in the country is that the people did not take care of SOPs.

Raja Basharat said, “It is the responsibility of every citizen to take care of the safety norms laid down by the SOPs." He warned that if the people did not take care of the SOPs, they would be strictly enforced. He appealed to the people to work with the government in raising awareness for prevention from coronavirus.
