Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that one of Pakistan's biggest mistakes was not linking military and civil research.

"We have informally linked them now, defence and production industry," Chaudhry said while adding that this has helped Pakistan produce equipment for battling coronavirus much faster.

He said that NTRC and Nust have made disinfecting robots, drones can be used to disinfect areas under quarantine.

"A thermal monitoring camera has been developed, will detect without touching," Chaudhry said.
