Murad blames Centre for rapid virus spread

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Thursday blamed the federal government for rapid spread of Covid-19 across the country.

Hitting out at the federal government, the Sindh chief minister said coronavirus spread in the country because there was no check on borders. “I advised the federal government in March to seal all borders and send people coming from different countries to proper quarantine centres, but it was not accepted which resulted in trajectory of the virus in April,” he added.
