Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Health Taimur Jhagra has said that it is clear that the virus will not disappear, so we have to learn to live with it.

"We have to adapt," Jhagra said, while addressing a press conference about the lifting of lockdown in the province.

"For this we need to not fight amongst ourselves and tackle it together. You know the PM had a different opinion on the matter, but he still did not open transport because of provinces' reservations," he said while going into the details of how the lockdown will be eased.
