QALAT (Pajhwok): Coronavirus cases are on the increase in southern Zabul province with the advent of winter and due to people’s carelessness, officials of the Covid-19 hospital in Qalat, the provincial capital, say.

The Covid-19 hospital head, Dr. Anwaruddin Himmat, told Pajhwok that Covid-19 cases were increasing in Zabul with each passing day due to cold weather, lack of vaccination and inattention to healthcare.

He said hundreds of patients with Covid symptoms visited the hospital during the past two months and 559 suspicious patients were recommended tests and 145 of them tested positive for the infection . . .
