Health Minister Zahid Malik on Tuesday suggested people not to make unnecessary foreign trips as deadly novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread to 60 countries across the globe, reports UNB.
“It’s preferable to avoid unnecessary tours to foreign countries as coronavirus has spread to 60 countries of the world…many international events have been cancelled for this,” he said.
The minister came up with the suggestion while talking to the reporters at a press briefing on coronavirus and dengue at the secretariat.
The new virus, first detected in China, has infected about 92,153 people globally and caused around 3,127 deaths.
