Islamabad: The federal capital is being hit by the third wave of COVID-19, with 72,613 cases confirmed so far, and the city’s top hospital - Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) - is under severe pressure since there is no letup in new patients.
Joint Executive Director of the hospital Dr. Siraj says the hospital is under enormous pressure and cannot handle any more patients any longer.
Meanwhile, Islamabad’s operational graveyard in Sector H-11 is fast running out of space due to deaths caused by coronavirus. The graveyard was receiving 20 to 25 dead bodies daily.
