50 patients in Balochistan critical: Shahwani

Spokesperson for Balochistan Government Liaquat Shahwani has said that there are currently 114 hospitalised coronavirus patients in Balochistan, out of which 50 are in a critical state.

"98 per cent of our people are self isolating at home," Shahwani said.

"The good news is that not a single patient of ours is on a ventilator. All the critical patients are receiving oxygen in hospitals."

'It's been 3 months since our first case and our latest spike has been the quickest ,which is very troubling. Local transmission rate in Balochistan is rising fast. This is alarming but the good news is that our recovery rate is also high." he pointed out.
