Moreover the earlier demand of public to open all private nursing homes hospitals for first aid of COVID patients with all emergency medical facilities like Oxygen, medicines, ventilators etc should be done at war footing to save common citizens.
The open space at MAM Stadium can be used for emergency purposes for building emergency hospitals as has been done by the Americans and European countries. “When we also consider to be among the front level nations we have to devise ways and means as and best practices used by those countries for the safety of our people.
