Tuesday, 25 August 2020_In Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, roads are full of traffic and markets are crowded with people. Life is returning to normalcy after Pakistan showed remarkable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Contrary to earlier predictions, the country has successfully flattened the curve, allowing business activities to resume.
There are currently over 290,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, but almost 94 percent of them have fully recovered. The active cases are just around 10,000.
Earlier predictions suggested that Pakistan might have over one million cases by the end of August.
Experts are trying to find answers to how Pakistan successfully avoided a major catastrophe. The government thinks credit goes to its policies. People on the street also endorsed the government strategy.
This comes as others believe that the government has little role in turning the tide against the coronavirus.
Despite the success, authorities still urge people to take all the precautions as the second wave of COVID-19 may hit the country.
