(Lahore) Punjab’s provincial health minister Dr. Yasmin Rashid on
Tuesday said that given the increasing number of coronavirus cases, people
should follow safety measures, adding that if the government is compelled to
impose a complete lockdown, the working class will suffer the most. According
to Geo News; she was addressing a press conference at Lahore's Mayo
Hospital. Dr. Rashid said that by following SOPs; such as wearing masks in
shops; the cases can be brought down by 70%. She also said that people
should be extra careful during the winter as changing weather conditions weaken
a person's immune system; making them prone to catching the virus. She
also shared several emergency numbers with the masses; saying that the
government will provide help to people in the best way possible.
The government's COVID-19 control room numbers for Punjab are as
follows:
042-99211136
042-99211137
042-99211138
‘These are the numbers of our Covid-19 control rooms. People can
call on these numbers to ask about hospitals; available beds; etc;’ she said. ‘Alternatively;
you can dial 1122 if your condition has worsened and you need to go to the
hospital. Our teams will arrive at your doorsteps and transport you to the
hospital.’
