The Sindh government has decided to establish a 100-bed isolation facility in District Malir to properly isolate those air passengers coming to the Karachi airport from abroad who are diagnosed with coronavirus infection.
The decision to this effect was reached on Wednesday at a top-level meeting held at the Sindh Secretariat with Sindh Chief Secretary Syed Mumtaz Ali Shah in chair.
The chief secretary asked the Karachi commissioner and Malir deputy commissioner to establish a 100-bed isolation facility for the coronavirus patients among the air travellers coming to Karachi from abroad. The Provincial Disaster Management Authority in Sindh would provide all the necessary facilities for the purpose.

ONCE again coronavirus is spreading and yet everything is going on as if nothing is happening. Not many seem to be too bothered. I have lost many of my colleagues to this deadly virus, and many of my close relatives have passed through this ordeal.
Here I will like to share my personal experience about how one of my close relatives, despite taking all the precautions, fell prey to this disease; perhaps at his workplace.
We recently visited him at his place. He was alright. The next day he had diarrhoea and fever. He was given medicines, but there was no relief and his condition deteriorated. The PCR test was arranged somewhat reluctantly, and it came out to be positive.
