00:00 You are watching 'Shaam-e-Ramzaan' where we bring you different topics related to health.
00:05 Now if you are thinking that Coronavirus was there, it came and went and now we are all good, we are all safe.
00:13 This is not true.
00:15 This is not true because virus never goes away.
00:18 It becomes dormant, it hides somewhere and the special thing about virus is that it remains dormant for years and then suddenly it wakes up.
00:27 Its variants are coming.
00:30 So the variants of Coronavirus, a new variant has come in Peshawar and the name of this variant is JN1.
00:37 It is the name of Director General Health Services, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:40 According to this, two employees of Khyber Medical University have been affected by this variant.
00:46 Two employees have been affected and its spread is obvious and we would like to know this because when Corona came, its spread was fast.
00:54 As it was decreasing, we saw that its spread was also decreasing.
00:58 But the news that is coming out about this variant is that its spread is 83% while the mortality rate is less than this variant.
01:06 So at this time, the Director General Health Services has given instructions to prevent the spread of the virus.
01:12 Now what are the steps?
01:13 Remember Faisal, we should make this a part of our life that we have to keep our hands clean, keep our environment clean.
01:20 And while going out, especially in the polluted cities like Karachi and Lahore, you should use the mask.
01:29 You just snatched my words. I was just about to say that Corona or no Corona.
01:33 In the cities where we live, it is very important to wear a mask.
01:39 So let's talk about this, our representative Shazia Nisar is with us.
01:45 Shazia, please tell us what has been written in the petition that has been issued, how dangerous it is and has any precautionary measures been given to the citizens regarding its spread?
01:55 Yes, the citizens of Peshawar were also thinking that Corona is over or it will never come again.
02:04 But yesterday, a petition was issued by the Health Court and it has been told that,
02:10 in fact, an advisory has been issued for the public that the precautionary measures should be immediately lifted.
02:15 The practice that was in place during Corona should be removed.
02:19 And the number of strong cases of Corona is 9, which is a new variant of the Corona virus, which is called J1 and J1.8.
02:32 These two new viruses have come forward and the strong cases have been tested after the advisory has been issued.
02:43 Because there have been 9 strong cases in Peshawar so far, including doctors and 6 cases.
02:49 The three residents of Peshawar have been diagnosed with the virus, while 5 women have also been affected by the virus.
03:01 The spread of this virus is 83% according to the Health Court.
03:07 But along with that, precautionary measures have also been told so that there is no fear in the public that this disease can spread quickly.
03:16 But Corona is not a contagious disease and it can be controlled.
03:20 The precautionary measures are the same for hospitals and health officials.
03:25 If such cases come immediately, such as cold, fever, temperature, then their tests should be done,
03:31 their genomes should be tested so that they are found on time.
03:34 And the precautionary measures should also be taken.
03:37 The precautionary measures should also be taken and if it is found on time, then it is also necessary.
03:41 And take care of yourself.
03:42 Thank you so much, Shazia Nizam, for being with us.
03:44 And it's good that the Health Advisory has been carried out.
03:47 But it is your job to follow the rules.
03:50 It is your responsibility.
