KP Health Minister Taimur Khan Jhagra has pointed out that one reason why the province's fatality rate from the novel coronavirus appears to be high might be the limited number of tests that are being conducted.
"KP has a population of 35m, but 20,625 tests so far, which we are growing aggressively," he said in a tweet.
While calculating fatality rate, only the confirmed number of cases are taken into account, he said. The actual number of cases may be much higher, which means the province's fatality rate is "actually much, much lower".
