KARACHI: The Sindh government’s measures to contain further spread of coronavirus seems to be bearing fruit as Murtaza Wahab, the provincial government’s spokesperson, said on Sunday a sudden spike in COVID-19 cases has seemingly stopped because of people going into self-isolation and closure of public places.
Taking to the microblogging site Twitter, he said: “Decisions made by #SindhGovt asking people to self quarantine or isolate as well as closing down restaurants, malls & other places shows that the sudden spike in figures seems to have stopped & there is a plateau.”
“Just imagine how effective will it be once we all fully quarantine.”
