PML-N leader Khawaja Asif said that it could take years for life to return to normality once the Covid-19 pandemic is over.

Addressing the National Assembly, he said: "These are tough times, and it could take years for things to go back to normal. Unfortunately, the government is treating the outbreak as a typical partisan issue.

"We are giving up when the fight has only just begun. Who knows how long this outbreak will last," he asked.
