Multan: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Aamir Khattak has requested the country’s philanthropists to donate medical supplies — including medical gowns, sanitisers and face masks — for the clinical staff operating in the city’s quarantine and isolation units built to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to news sources.
While speaking to the representatives from the commercial and industrial units, he announced that the city administration, civil defence volunteers and waste management workers were available to assist the pilgrims that were still in isolation — after having arrived from other affected countries, like Iran.
The
DC said that over a thousand workers were helping the quarantined pilgrims in
various shifts, and that he was proud of their spirit and their service. He asked
the affluent section of the community to step forward and donate supplies for
these workers and food for the quarantined. He also said that the people should
also take into account the labourers who work for daily wages and are affected
by the lockdown in the province — implemented in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic.
The
DC said that the donors can contact the additional deputy commissioner at
0619200049 to help the government succeed in coronavirus prevention.
