NCOC Implements NPIs in High Disease Prevalence Cities

On 27th August 2021, Mr Asad Umer led the National Command and Operation Center meeting following the recent Covid-19 situation. The planning & development Minister thoroughly discussed the following points with the attendants of this meeting:

• Oxygen requirement
• Daily Hospital admissions
• Critical care occupancy

Earlier, thirteen cities were implementing Non-pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs). But now, twenty-seven highly infected cities are included in the NPIs category. The Covid-19 strain in these cities is at its peak. That’s why the authorities decided to implement restrictions in particular cities. The newly introduced cities include eleven cities from Punjab, two from Sindh, GB & AJK, nine from KPK and one from ICT. The organization will implement NPIs in the cities whose list is below.
