The  NCOC has also decided that the rapid test for domestic passengers arriving at Pakistani airports will be phased out from February 8, but the test will be for those deported from abroad and non-vaccinated at land border terminals Will continue.

 

During the past 24 hours the country reported 3,338 cases, bringing the total caseload to 1.46 million, according to the health ministry. 

 

The new cases now declined from earlier over 8,000 which was reported on Jan 27, after the new wave.
