ISLAMABAD: According to the most recent statistics released by the National Institute of Health in Islamabad on Wednesday morning, Pakistan’s COVID-19 positivity ratio decreased to 1.55 percent in a single day as the country’s fresh case count slightly decreased overnight.
In Pakistan, coronavirus cases are generally increasing, but no deaths from the infection have been noted in the previous day.
Overnight, Pakistan reported 236 new COVID-19 cases, according to official NIH data. The coronavirus positivity ratio was 1.55 percent with the new cases. 226 people have recovered over the past 24 hours, however.
The total number of coronavirus cases in Pakistan now stands at 1,543,741, with 30,424 deaths.
In the country’s 10,294 coronavirus patients receiving care in hospitals, quarantine facilities, on ventilators, and at homes, 152 are in critical condition, while 1.53 million have so far made a full recovery.
In the past 24 hours, 452,990 people in Pakistan have received corona virus vaccinations.
Due to escape mutations that give them an advantage, experts attribute the increase in COVID-19 cases in Pakistan to two sub-variants of the Omicron variant, known as BA.4 and BA.5.
They claim that the sub-variants have been spreading to individuals who have already received a vaccination or who have already contracted COVD-19, but there is no proof that these individuals are developing a serious illness as a result of the sub-variants.
