Pakistan records lowest ratio of Covid cases in 3 months

With a constant decline in Covid ratios, Pakistan has reported the lowest ratio of 4.05% in almost three months on Monday after 2,117 new cases were reported during the past 24 hours across the country.

The last time, the country recorded a COVID-19 positivity rate of 4.04% was on March 5 and has now reported a positivity ratio below 5% for a whole week.

According to the official data provided by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), 52,223 tests were conducted during the past 24 hours out of which 2,117 turned out to be positive, taking the total number of cases to 921,053 as of today.

43 people have lost their lives battling coronavirus during the past 24 hours, with the total death toll rising to 20,779 across the country.

The number of active cases stands at 56,347 whereas about 607,205 people have recovered from the virus so far.

The third wave of the pandemic is gradually becoming better with the vaccination drives being carried out across the country.

Last week, the NCOC had opened walk-in covid vaccinations for people aged 30 and above and teachers over 18 years old, and registrations for 19 and above had started.

A digital portal has been launched by the federal government for the registration through which a code is assigned to the person. They can then go to the designated vaccination center and get a jab.
