At least 85 new cases have been reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while another 10 patients have been added to previously reported data, according to provincial health and finance minister Taimur Khan Jhagra, taking the total to 500.

In a tweet, he explained: "Because of the high mobility of KP labour, across the country and abroad, all districts barring five now have at least one reported case; Chitral (upper and lower, reported as Chitral), Upper Kohistan, Lower Kohistan, and Kolai Palas remain districts with zero cases reported."
