Asad Umar compares India, Pakistan mortality rate due to corona

National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) Head and Planning Minister Asad Umar said the death toll from Corona in India is 236 per million population, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

بھارت میں کرونا سے ہلاک ہونے والوں کی تعداد 236 فی ملین آبادی ہے. پاکستان میں یہ شرح 92 فی ملین ہے. اگر بھارت کی کرونا اموات کی شرح آبادی کے تناسب سے وہی ہوتی جو پاکستان کی ہے، تو بھارت میں 2 لاکھ اموات کم ہوتیں. اللہ کا شکر ادا کریں، حفاظتی تدابیر پر عمل کریں اور ویکسین لگوائیں

“The death toll from Corona in India is 236 casualties per million population. In Pakistan, the rate is 92 per million,” the minister said.

Asad Umar said, “If India's corona mortality rate were the same as Pakistan's, the death toll in India would be less than 200,000.”

He urged people to take precautions and get vaccinated.

Earlier Asad Umar said that Pakistan set a new record of most vaccinations in a day after more than 0.3 million people were administered Covid jabs on May 29 (Saturday).

In a tweet, Umar said that 383,000 people have been vaccinated in a single day. He said a new vaccination record has been created yesterday. "So far, seven million people have been administered coronavirus vaccine," he stated.
