Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned that the coronavirus will continue to spread.

"The world has agreed, the richest countries have come to the conclusion that the virus will spread no matter what. Nothing can be done about it. The virus will spread and our death toll will also rise [...] I told you that from day one."

He added that the onus was on the public to take precautionary measures to curb the spread of the virus. "If we don't take precautions then we will continue to suffer."
