Across the country, most of the patients who tested positive had traveled to Iran for pilgrimage. By March 11, the number of quarantined pilgrims in Taftan rose to 4,000 – out of which 2,000 belonged to Sindh. After the 14-day incubation period ended, around 300 pilgrims left for Sindh, where they were quarantined again in Sukkur.
The quarantined individuals were placed in a tent city set up by the Balochistan government for Pakistani nationals entering the country from Iran.
