PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari says the impression being given by some officials that Pakistan's coronavirus curve is flattening is a "blatant lie".

"Some people who have not read anything about the virus are saying that the curve is flattening, this is a blatant lie," he said while referring to government officials at a press conference.

Bilawal alleged that the PTI government had "sabotaged" efforts to contain the Covid-19 outbreak from day one.

"The worse is yet to come; the curve would only flatten if you had taken steps to flatten it."
