CONCLUSION:
The government of Pakistan started taking preventive measures against
COVID-19 before its outbreak in the country, and its response was
considered satisfactory by WHO up until March 14’2020. But despite
having preventive measures in place well before time, there has been a
rapid increase in number of confirm positive cases of COVID-19 in
Pakistan. The growth seems to go higher than what our study predicts,
but slower than predicted by earlier researchers. However, Pakistan has
opened CPEC, construction and skilled labour industry to relieve its
economic burden, which in turn may worsen the COVID-19 situation in the
country. Hence, the upcoming month is of considerable importance in
epidemiological spread of COVID-19 in Pakistan. How will Pakistan manage
both its COVID-19 cases and economy, is a situation to monitor. Also, a
question that should be further investigated is the cause of less than
expected spread of COVID-19 in Pakistan, compared to other active
outbreak countries.
