Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that screening of passengers and pilgrims at Jinnah International Airport and Taftan border was weak, due to which a coronavirus patient emerged in Quetta.

The chief minister expressed these views while chairing the meeting of the Sindh task force on coronavirus.

"The screening system is weak at Taftan and the child diagnosed with the virus in Quetta may have been infected in the quarantine area," he said.
