Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has changed its coronavirus public awareness message, from ‘not deadly’ to ‘can be deadly' in the message.
Journalist Zarrar Khuhro associated with DAWN News, took to Twitter to inform people about the recent development. He said, “PTA had changed the coronavirus message from 'jaan leva nahin hai' [not deadly] [to 'jaan leva ho sakti hai' [can be deadly]. About time, as the first message was wrong.”

However, currently the country’s telecom authority is being criticized for not terming the coronavirus outbreak as ‘deadly’ in the first place, keeping in view the fact that to date, 93 people have lost their lives due to the fatal virus in Pakistan.
