Wave 2 – Journal – DAWN.COM

 


CONSIDERING that the second wave of Covid-19 has already started to grapple with crippled health systems across the world, Pakistan must remain on guard. While this country has thankfully dodged the devastation some of the world’s Covid hotspots have endured, there is no reason to be complacent. This was the thrust of the Prime Minister’s tweet on Sunday, in which Imran Khan urged people to wear masks in order to avoid a spike. Winter is approaching and viruses are finding an atmosphere more conducive to spreading in colder weather. According to figures released by the National Command and Operation Center, the number of active cases of Covid-19 is close to 9,500, while there were just over 6,000 cases last month. The Pakistani Medical Association has also sounded the alarm, saying people’s relaxed attitudes can lead to an increase in infections.

Shortly after the threat that Covid-19 posed to the national health system became clear earlier this year, different pillars of the state reacted differently. For example, the federal government was seen to be reacting slowly, while the Sindh administration was quick to announce lockdown measures. While these measures severely affected daily life with crippled economic and educational routines, the pain was necessary and manageable, compared to what the situation might have looked like if Covid-19 had spread rapidly across the country. With the right preventive measures, and perhaps a little luck, Pakistan escaped a catastrophic situation that many people in our region, such as India and Iran, as well as those who are further away than the states. Americans and Europeans had to face. However, the challenge posed by the coronavirus has not gone away. Wearing masks and respecting other SOPs, like regular hand washing and social distancing, are indeed simple steps that can go a long way in keeping a second wave at bay. In addition, as a large part of the public abandons SOPs, there is a need to intensify awareness campaigns and avoid overcrowding in workplaces, markets and educational institutions. And while larger locks may be an option given the severity of the situation, perhaps mini-locks can be quickly put in place in areas where a high number of infections are reported. As the PMA has said, the fight against Covid-19 can only be won if people act responsibly and follow SOPs, and the state strictly enforces the rules. Pakistan must be ready to face the second wave and overcome it with preventive measures.
