Islamabad: Pakistan’s coronavirus tally crossed 19,000 on Sunday after 989 new patients were diagnosed in the last 24 hours.
The Ministry of National Health Services said 23 patients died in this period, taking the total toll to 440. So far, 4,817 people have recovered from the deadly virus, the ministry said.
