The Deputy Commissioner Islamabad further said that initially they had to seal Bhara Kahu, Shahzad Town, and Rimsha Colony after they appeared to be fast-turning into Coronavirus epicenters, and now Taramari Chowk remains sealed.

“We are providing food to every house there (Taramari Chowk area). It’s a challenge but we have to take difficult decisions to save lives,” he added.

Muhammad Hamza Shafqaat said that the policy of sealing the COVID-19 hit areas worked well, and resultantly the spread of the virus was halted.

Furthermore, he said that in the ICT, out of 2,000 international passengers tested for the virus, around 37 were found positive.
