The Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa government enacted a decree to ensure the smooth supply of daily
food and check checks throughout the province.
Government
spokesman Ajmal Wazir told reporters that 30 consumer goods had been listed and
that their compounds would be arrested without a warrant and would be sent to
prison for three years.
He said that
the decree enables MPs to attack suspicious warehouses without prior
permission, while the identity of those who provide information about the
accumulators will be kept confidential.
A minister
said that seven of Covid's 19 patients had lost their lives in the past 24
hours.
He said the
number of deaths from the new coronavirus in the region was 74, while 1,276
residents showed negative results for the virus and 39 of these cases were
reported in the past 24 hours.
I
invite everyone to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary movement because of the incidence
of COVID-19 in the district is rising he said.
The spokesman said the patient could transmit the virus to his family, which could
affect an entire region.
He said the
government is using all available resources to protect people from the
coronavirus.
A minister
said that about 520 Pakistanis had returned from Afghanistan and had all been
isolated in the Landi Kotal and Shah Kass districts to test Coved 19.
He said that
the quarantine centers are equipped and that the people who stay in them have
all the necessary facilities.

repatriated, while confirmed cases would be followed up.
On the claim
by Sindh Prime Minister Sind Murad Ali Shah, when three confirmed cases of KP
COVID-19 arrived in his province, a minister said it was not the time to gain
political points.

said.

from 20 to 1,000 a day.
