The Covid-19 pandemic has placed enormous stress on governments, health authorities and individuals across the world, with the total global death count estimated at 4.16 million people, and an infection burden of 194 million. The NCOC was an essential factor in curbing the impact of covid-19 in Pakistan. It must however be mentioned that Pakistan’s population on average is a lot younger than other countries where covid-19 struck.

More specifically, global action across sectors, particularly in the domain of public health and hygiene, will need to be ramped up.
