PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari stated that it was a shame that the federal government was busy fighting with the Sindh government instead of taking steps to control the coronavirus outbreak.

During a meeting with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, he said: "Measures to control the outbreak were taken in a timely manner due to the Sindh government."

He stated that the rise in the number of deaths due to Covid-19 was "alarming", adding that the country's situation was becoming "worrisome".
