ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives has warned that the fourth wave of the coronavirus could emerge in the South Asian country next month if the SOPs are not followed.
Asad Umar, who also heads the National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC), says they have carried out an “artificial intelligence-based disease modeling analysis”, which suggests that in the absence of “strong SOP enforcement and continued strong vaccination program,” the 4th wave is likely to emerge in Pakistan.
“Please adhere to SOPs and vaccinate as soon as possible,” he warned.
