People have already been miserable due to the four waves of COVID-19 which have effected the all departments of lives. Now, omicron in Pakistan is alarmingly increasing which if not gets solved, will worsens the situation. The Omicron variant is spreading like wildfire in the metropolis with the positivity ratio increasing to 10pc and infection rate rising steeply from 50pc to 81pc within a week. Daily total tests across the country remain below 50,000, which means the number of actual Covid-19 positive patients could be much higher. Recently, in Karachi cases are terribly increasing and the people are concerned. The hospital are full of patients and lack other beds for the patients. However, patients are not being treated as their population is so high.
The government needs to be concerned regarding this issue and enforce new rules so that the people get protected. The authorities should vaccinate the people as vaccinated people do not get much hurt. And force people to wear masks and keep physical distance which are the basic key to be protected from this dreadful disease.
