Number of active coronavirus cases in Pakistan have come down to 17,799, down from over 100K during mid-June 2020.

While we have some data now, to see how the country performed after rather brief Eid holidays, and it appears the number of cases have remained flat if now declined.

Weekly new cases, for example, this week stood at 4,631 — down some 19% when compared to 5,740 new cases that we tested positive last week.

Also not to forget, number of new cases last week are likely under-reported due to Eid holidays when one shift worked as compared to usual three shifts during normal days.

In such case, some cases from the week after Eid were also reported during the last week — but still the count is lower than previous weeks, only to indicate that disease is still under control and there’s no new surge in cases due to Eid.

Similar trend was seen for new deaths during past two weeks. Below is the graph detailing the number of deaths for each week since the beginning of outbreak in the country:

Active Cases

Number of active cases are steadily decreasing as total number of active cases dropped to 17,799, a level we previously had on April 30th, 2020.

A total of 91.61% of all positive cases have recovered now, while 2.1% of positive cases lost their lives, leaving only 6% of positive cases currently with active status.

New recoveries are now slower than those during last month, due to the fact that new cases have slowed down and hence the number of recoveries have also slowed down.

This essentially means that active cases will decline steadily, but that’s okay as long as the number of new cases don’t grow rapidly.
