"The speed at which COVID-19 spread in Europe and the US; we're not encountering a similar kind of speed. Then again, we are as yet confronting the rising number of cases we despite everything haven't arrived at our top here in Pakistan," he included. 

"From the very beginning, the distinction between, state, what we've found in Europe and the US — and, truth be told, even in China — is that we needed to confront this twin test: one was to stop [and] stem the development of the infection, subsequently, the lockdown. 


"However, the greater test in our nation is the means by which to alleviate the impacts of lockdown on our populace with the rising neediness. We, in Pakistan, have 25 million specialists, who either are day by day bets or get paid week after week or are independently employed. At the point when we [impose a] lockdown like the entire of the world to stop the spread of the infection, every one of these individuals got jobless.

"Except if the men and the ladies work, they can't take care of their families. What my legislature did was we propelled a money program and arrived at about 15 million families with money moves however this is just a transient arrangement." "Along these lines, in spite of the bringing cases up in our nation, we have chosen to facilitate our lockdown and revive our development industry so individuals can discover work in light of the fact that it is extremely unlikely that the administration can accommodate all. The main way we can do that is by giving business. 

"The path forward that we have this year as a country is that we understand that we need to live with this infection at any rate until an antibody comes out and balances it. We have brought a volunteer power up in such manner — of one million volunteers — who will help the organization as it is now overburdened as are the law authorization offices. 

"This volunteer power will urge individuals not to have huge social occasions and spread mindfulness among masses to follow the SOPs [standard working procedures] important to stem the infection. 


"Not long before this pandemic hit us, we had figured out how to adjust our twin spending plans — the present record and monetary shortage. After exceptionally extreme changes, we had thought of the development of the economy.
