Sindh Information Minister Nasir Hussain Shah has said that the province has "not received much support" from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Talking to the media in Karachi, Shah acknowledged that NDMA has provided masks and personal protective equipment to the province but claimed that "no laboratory has been set up nor a single ventilator received".

He added that the provincial government would follow Prime Minister Imran Khan's decisions but added that "confusion was being created".
