Number is highest single-day tally during ongoing third wave of pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan recorded 114 deaths from the coronavirus in the past 24 hours, its highest single-day number during a third wave of the pandemic, the Health Ministry said on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The South Asian country registered 103 deaths on April 6, which was a daily record since December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the new casualties, most reported in northeastern Punjab and northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkwa provinces, the death toll stands at 15,443.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan reported 5,050 new infections, bringing the total to 721,018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 631,700, patients have recovered and active cases are 73,875.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nation of more than 200 million people has seen a sharp spike in infections in the past two weeks with around 50,000 cases reported in April alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doctors warn that the third wave is likely to take less time to cross the peak of the first and the second waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government has already imposed “broader lockdowns” in high-risk areas until April 13, with no movement allowed except for emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan is currently vaccinating frontline health care workers and citizens who are older than 50 using China’s Sinopharm and CanSino doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Private hospitals in major cities have also started inoculation with Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine imported by a pharmaceutical company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
