The chief minister said that the Punjab health department has been given directions to enhance their laboratory facilities and ensure they are fully stocked with personal protection equipment. “The corona ordinance (introduced a day earlier) will also soon come into effect,” he added.
The chief minister said that in Lahore’s Camp Jail, a 100-bed facility is being established and screening of inmates has already begun. Speaking of prisoners currently kept there, Buzdar said that a summary is being moved by the health department after which nearly 3,500 prisoners will be released.
