The fifth wave of Covid has been difficult for Pakistan as it has sailed smoothly through the previous ones. The government has put its best to make sure that the citizens are protected along with the NCOC and has been on guard since the pandemic hit. The positivity rate had gone above 10% the highest as compared to the previous ones resulting in the most deaths so far. The good news so far is that it has lowered to 7% which is a good sign.
The Pakistani government has dealt very efficiently with the pandemic by providing the vaccines in time that too free of cost. They have also been able to move the state machinery to provide the vaccines door to door, which is a commendable job. Pakistan has also made a record of having 38% of the population vaccinated. The eligible population that is vaccinated is 56% which is remarkable. The total vaccines administered so far are 185,916,838.
