108 Pakistanis succumbed to COVID-19 yesterday
Novel coronavirus keeps claiming lives across the globe and Pakistan is no exception. The country saw another deadly day as the Covid casualties' tally exceeded the figure of 100 once more.
It must be noted that these are only the documented deaths and nowhere near the actual toll as health professionals working on the frontlines often report that most cases are not reported in hospitals due to multiple reasons and thus it can be estimated that the actual numbers are way worse.
