Khyber Pakhtunkhwa health and finance minister Taimur Khan Jhagra urged citizens to give constructive criticism and refrain from "belittling" the efforts of the district administration that are working on ensuring facilities for those confined to quarantine facilities.

Responding to a news report about the state of one of the quarantine facilities in the province, the minister said: "These facilities won't be ideal, they are what we have, and we will try our best to run them well.

"Do point out what can be improved, but please don't belittle the efforts that the district admin and these extraordinary sanitary workers are making," he said.
