Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has virtually inaugurated and toured the Covid-19 Screening and Testing Zone (CSTZ) established by the Aga Khan University Hospital.

The hospital has developed a comprehensive plan to tele-screen and test patients in a set-up that is on campus but at a distance from the outpatient clinics and main hospital. Patients will stand in single modular booths where there is a physical barrier separating them and the healthcare staff.

The CSTZ has a capacity of 300 tests per day and FREE tele-screening appointments can be booked through 021 111-911-911, a press release from the hospital said.
