Face masks easiest way to curb virus spread: PM Imran

Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the easiest thing the public can do to prevent the spread of the coronavirus was to wear face masks.

"Everyone should take individual responsibility [...]. The easiest thing you can do, which has made the biggest difference, is wear face masks."

It has been proven to be the easiest way to reduce the spread of the virus, he said, urging people to wear masks in their daily activities.

He also urged them to try doing qurbani online. "If you have to go to cattle markets, wear face masks and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for curbing the spread of the virus."
