Lockdown has helped decrease the pace of the coronavirus spread, says PM’s aide

Minister of Planning and Development Asad Umar said on Sunday said that the country’s lockdown had helped slow the pace of coronavirus infections as the national COVID-19 case count soared beyond 3,000 and the death toll reached 46.

“The good news is that the lockdown has helped in decreasing the pace of the coronavirus spread. This is encouraging,” the minister, who heads the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) for COVID-19, told reporters.

“However, this does not mean that disease is not spreading,” he added.

“The infections would have spread more rapidly if the lockdown had not been imposed.”
