      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) recommended wearing masks in crowded places after the recent surge in the coronavirus (Covid-19) cases in Pakistan on Friday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The National Institute of Health (NIH) in a tweet wrote that amid the current Covid-19 disease trends across the country, the NCOC recommended following guidelines for the period up to 30 April 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mask wearing is recommended at crowded tightly enclosed spaces including healthcare facilities.”&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to NIH data, the rate of coronavirus in the country has been recorded at 2.70 per cent, while 133 positive cases have been reported so far.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier, coronavirus was confirmed in the staff and students of a private university in Karachi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After which the university said that the virus is spreading again, all staff and students should follow the precautionary measures strictly.&lt;/p&gt;
