PML-N's Senator Musadiq Malik has said that by lifting the lockdown, the government is moving towards "herd immunity".

Herd immunity is developed when a large number of people from a population develop antibodies against a virus and, therefore, become immune to it.

"It means that after 60-70pc are infected and many people are dead, those who have survived will turn the wheel of the economy. But graveyards do not have an economic wheel," he told the Senate.
