Barriers in Lock Down
The only and most effective strategy is lock down, but, more than all
over the world, people of subcontinent especially Pakistan is facing a
lot of problems in making its people understand about the severity of
the disease. First issue is with the unawareness or illiteracy of the
people. People do not even bother to make sure the safety measures. The
lock down partially lifted by the Government in order to pursue the
economy of Pakistan before Eid resulted in an enormous and rapid
increase in the graph of daily cases of COVID-19 in Pakistan
(Organization & organization, 2020). Obviously, all of this happened
due to unawareness and non-serious behavior of people against this
pandemic.
Second major problem is the myths wandering in the public about novel
coronavirus. People specially living in villages are not ready to accept
the reality about virus. They do not believe until they see many
patients by their own eyes. Rumors revolve that the virus is being
spread by the will of World’s Superpowers or it’s a source to uplift the
economy of the developed countries by selling their vaccines, etc.
Another problem faced by the Government of Pakistan is the firm belief
of its people in religion. However, more than 95% population in
Pakistan is Muslim (Organization & organization, 2020), Islam never
preached about not having safety measures, in fact, Islam preached the
ways to tackle the pandemics. Some people in Pakistan who are not well
literate about the preaching of Islam, mis concept the belief and hence
face horrifying situation.
