"The government will provide immunity boosting packages to patients isolating at home on their doorsteps starting from next week which will contain multivitamins, masks, sanitisers etc. The government is also focusing on plasma therapy and will procure 3,600 kits."

He said that the government wanted to increase the recovery rate — currently at 38 per cent — to 60 or 70pc. He added that the province's fatality rate is 2pc. "The total number of critical patients in the province is 16 while no patient has been put on ventilator."
