He said that due to the effects of COVID-19, many people around the world, including Pakistan, had become mentally ill and had not been able to return to normal life.

“Thankfully, cases of COVID-19 are declining, but caution is still needed, as the virus has had dangerous consequences,” he said.

He said that the use of masks in normal life should be ensured to eradicate COVID-19 and still carefulness should be exercised while shaking hands.

He said that those who suffered from psychiatric problems due to coronavirus had not been able to return to normal life as yet.
