Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged Pakistanis to follow health precautions in the next two months in view of a possible second wave of Covid-19. He said the country was still fighting a "big battle against corona".

"We fear a second wave could come and there are some indications that our cases are rising a little bit," he told a doctors' convention in Lahore.

He said the residents of cities that experience pollution and smog in the winter will have to be extra careful in the coming weeks so healthcare workers don't come under pressure.
