ISLAMABAD: With the support of a petroleum company, the capital territory (ICT) administration will set up four quarantine facilities in the city.

The quarantine centres will be established at Haji Complex, I-9, Pak-China Friendship Centre and Chattha Bakhtawar.

MOL Pakistan Oil and Gas Company has donated Rs3 million for establishing the quarantine facilities under its corporate social responsibility programme, says a statement issued by the company.

The support has been planned in consultation with local MNA Ali Nawaz Awan through the offices of the chief commissioner and deputy commissioner Islamabad.

“We are proud of our efforts in these times of crisis and will do whatever we can to halt the progress of this deadly coronavirus,” the statement said.
