Over the past 20 days, there has been a 28 per cent decrease in the number of Covid-19 patients who were placed on ventilators or needed oxygen supply, Planning Minister Asad Umar said in a tweet.
He said that on June 20, 2,969 patients were being provided oxygen while 546 were on ventilators. According to yesterday's figures, the number of patients being supplied with oxygen and those on ventilators has reduced to 1,762 and 394, respectively.
The minister attributed the decline to effective implementation of smart lockdown and adherence to standard operating procedures by the public.
