Currently the number of daily Covid patients range between 2,000-3,000. Use of mask and sani- tizers are the most effective remedy, he said, adding that if two persons meet while applying masks then corona transmission decreases by 90 percent. By preventing community transfer, Covid can be controlled, he said.
