The Pakistan Government made an agreement with the scholars and senior authorities of the religious department to keep the mosques open in the month of Ramadan for citizens to pray in peace within the standard operating procedure of practicing social distancing. This was decided on 18th April ’20 and then implemented on the 24th of April.
This is a concerning predicament, given the imminent coronavirus threat presented by huge quantities of worshipers jamming into small spaces for quite a long time for the Taraweeh supplications that generally happen during Ramadan.
While the understanding expects mosques to adhere to 20 guidelines—including having worshipers supplicate 6 feet apart, exempting the section of the old and sick, and prohibiting handshakes—they will be hard to uphold over Pakistan's large number of mosques.
Cheerful onlookers will contend that these "well-being dangers" shouldn't be exaggerated. They will highlight Pakistan's warm atmosphere, energetic socio-economics, and the far reaching pervasiveness of a tuberculosis antibody—all factors that some exploration recommends are keeping coronavirus numbers at bay and in this way restricting the pandemic's effect in Pakistan, regardless of whether none of them are insured against the infection.
Be that as it may, one can't deny Pakistan's basic weakness. It fringes China and Iran, two of the nation’s hardest hit by the pandemic; its urban communities are thickly populated; and its well-being division is overburdened and limit compelled significantly under the best of conditions.
The latest information tells an inauspicious story. The quantities of confirmed coronavirus cases and passing in Pakistan are a lot of lower than those in numerous Western and East Asian nations; as of April 24th, as indicated by the Covid Watch Pakistan site, there were 11,155 cases and 237 passing. Yet, figures are rising quickly. The quantity of complete cases rose by more than 3,100 between April 18th—the day the administration consented to keep mosques open—and April 23rd. This is the biggest increment over any five-day time span up until now.
The genuine number of cases is likely higher, given that testing rates remain generally low. (Lately, the day by day number of government-directed tests has arrived at the midpoint of around 6,000 out of a country of 200 million.) Additionally—as indicated by certain specialists—Pakistan's absence of a compelling system to authoritatively record passings of any kind may mean some coronavirus fatalities are going unreported.
On April 23rd, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus cautioned that "without successful intercessions there could be an expected 200,000+ cases by mid-July" in Pakistan.
