PRECAUTIONS: Ways to prevent the disease

 

Wash Your Hands for 20sec

Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Cover Nose & Mouth When Sneezing

Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues.

Use Sanitizer

Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

Avoid Crowded Places (Social Distancing)

As an individual, you can lower your risk of infection by reducing your rate of contact with other people. Avoiding public spaces and unnecessary social gatherings, especially events with large numbers of people or crowds, will lower the chance that you will be exposed to the coronavirus as well as to other infectious diseases like flu.

Avoid Contact with Sick People

Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness.

 

 

Health facilities and medics are working on war footings to provide necessary treatment to patients reporting the corona virus symptoms.

 

Helpline 1166 is available for obtaining online support, information and guideline in case of assistance required to any patients across the country.

 

Complete Lockdown is being observed to contain the spread of corona virus before it spirals out of control. Educational institutions, congregations and offices have remain closed in order to minimize social interactions and thus reduce the possibility of transmission.

 

Anticipating the gravity of the situation, the entire Pakistani nation slowly and gradually is adopting a serious approach towards this pandemic and complying with the precautionary guidelines and appeals issued by medical experts and health ministry.

 

Allama Shehenshah Hussain Naqvi, flanked by renowned Ahl e sunat Scholars in a press conference earlier yesterday, endorsed the precautionary steps, extended complete solidarity with the nation and government on the issue and appealed to masses for cooperation and embracing the precautionary guidelines, in this hour of need.

 

Leading Shia Islamic jurisprudents also expressed unequivocal opinions on adopting necessary precautionary measures.

 

There are several aspects of this tribulation. 

 

Firstly The medical aspect for which, leading Islamic jurists recommend completely following the advice of experts, thus it is requested to all fellow Pakistanis, especially Khanwada-e-Shohada-e-Millat-e-Jaffaria Pakistan and our team members to fully abide by the precautionary measures being issued by health ministry and medical experts as our religious obligation.

 

Second aspect is the introspection, collectively and individually.

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran, in Ayah 41, Surah Rum.

"Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return."

Thus it is time to utilize the opportunity of solitude to connect to Almighty Allah super strong through the right of blessed revered names of Ahlulbayt[AS], seek sincere repentance of what has gone by and pledge to Almighty Allah to sincerely reform our lives in the light of teachings of Ahlulbayt[Alaihimussalam] and request Almighty Allah for easing this difficulty. As in every aspect Ahlulbayt[Alaihimussalam] have taught us to call Almighty Allah in such difficulties with the words that can please Almighty Allah quickly.

In end a Special Dua for Coronavirus patient early recovery in Pakistan or whole in World.
