Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan warned his countrymen that they are not immune to the threat posed by the coronavirus, but exuded confidence that Pakistan would emerge stronger from the challenge, as the number of cases in the country rose to 2,818.
"Nobody should have the false notion that they will be safe from this (coronavirus)... Look at New York where most of the rich people live," he said.
Khan in a blunt warning said that nobody, himself included, knows when the pandemic will end and how much damage it will do.
"It (virus) can remerge once settling down. So we don't know what will happen," he said.
He said the government was making all possible efforts to save the people, especially the most vulnerable, and reduce the losses due to epidemic.
"When we emerge from this challenge, we will be a totally different nation... Those who take such times as a test and face it head on as a challenge, come out stronger," he said.
