Minister for Planning Asad Umar has warned of serious consequences of not adhering to COVID related SOPs.

In a tweet on Tuesday, he said daily COVID mortality was twelve last week which is a one hundred and forty percent increase when compared with previous weeks. He said we are collectively committing a blunder by recklessly ignoring all the Standard Operating Procedures and the results have started to show.

He said if we do not change our current path, we will lose both lives and livelihoods.
