PML-N MNA Khurram Dastgir said that the federal government failed to control the country's borders and protect frontline healthcare workers in implementing its Covid-19 strategy.

"They should have closed the borders or at least set up proper quarantine centres. The government failed to prevent the spread of the virus."

He added that the Centre had also failed to "protect its protectors". "They were supposed to protect frontline health workers with personal protective equipment but has that happened? When doctors protested, they were thrown in jail."
