The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Pakistan rose to 644 after new cases were reported on Saturday from throughout the country.
Sindh remains the worst affected with a total of 292 cases. Part of the surge was attributed to 89 new patients who have tested positive for the virus in Sukkur, the provincial health department said. In Karachi alone, the tally hit 109 (including one death and three recoveries) of which 60 were said to be cases of “local transmission”.
According to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa health department, the number of cases in the province stands at 31 after four new patients were reported in addition to two reported hours earlier.
