Tests carried out of at least 10 people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after their deaths have shown that they died from Covid-19, KP health minister Taimur Saleem Jhagra has told BBC Urdu.

"KP has tested suspected patients of Covid-19 after they passed away to confirm their diagnosis. At least 10 deaths in the province have been confirmed through this," tweeted Zain Raza, the province's focal point on coronavirus.

He said the samples were taken from the patients after they passed away because they arrived in hospitals very late.
