Face masks on sale in the Pakistani city of Peshawar



A man sells protective face masks after positive cases of coronavirus were reported in Pakistan. Dr. Zafar Mirza said one of the two infected persons recently travelled to Iran and is currently under treatment at a hospital in Karachi. Iran has been plunged into isolation as authorities grapple with an outbreak of coronavirus that has killed 50 people in the city of Qom alone. Neighbouring countries Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iraq and Armenia have closed their borders in a bid to contain the virus.
