Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that none of the country's coronavirus cases were traced back to mosques, despite the government's critics stating otherwise.

Addressing the volunteers of the Corona Relief Tiger Force, he said: "We were the only country in the Muslim world that said we would not bar Taraweehs and would keep mosques open. We decided that whoever goes there will have to follow SOPs."

The premier quoted the example of Sialkot. "There weren't enough police officials in Sialkot to stop the public from going to mosques so our tiger force went and raised awareness.

"Our critics said that the virus will spread from mosques [but] we did not see any cases emerge from there and today the world is opening mosques with standard operating procedures in place. This was an achievement for the force."
