Sindh government spokesperson Murtaza Wahab has said that private hospitals across the province can now set up isolation wards to treat novel coronavirus patients.

He clarified that private hospitals would need to follow all the medical recommendations for Covid-19 patients' isolation outlined by Sindh Healthcare Commission before setting these wards up.

"The policy of Sindh government regarding this is in the wider interest of the public," Wahab said, advising private hospitals to contact the commission for further guidance.
