The swab samples will be taken at public places such as parks, markets, and tourist spots. They will be also collected from jails and orphanage homes.

Officials at the Punjab Health Department have said the idea that the threat of Coronavirus has abated is entirely misleading.

The public must exercise precautionary measures against Coronavirus such as wearing face masks, frequent hand washing, and observing social distancing.

CEO Rawalpindi DHA, Dr. Sohail Ahmed, has said that DHA Rawalpindi will collect around 1,500 swab samples every day.
