Police in the Pakistani city of Karachi have arrested 10 people for vandalising a hospital ward after staff refused to hand over the body of a relative who died of Covid-19.
Video footage showed broken windows and furniture in the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.
Its director Dr Seemi Jamali said 37 coronavirus patients were being treated in the ward that was smashed up.
The 60-year-old patient had been referred on Wednesday when his condition deteriorated, and died the following evening.
“The relatives who were camping close to the hospital wanted us to hand them the body immediately, but we refused because the rules require us to first inform the district health officer, and then call in the Edhi Trust volunteers who clean the body, wrap it in plastic sheets and ship it for burial.”
Relatives then stormed the ward, broke furniture, windows, some computers and printers and took the dead body downstairs.

There's a debate happening on my radio right now and some are arguing that the general public can be, SHOULD BE , trusted to act sensibly.
Yeah right. Can they REALLY not see the dangers? People! I DO despair. |

They behave like that when the yellow sticker man appears in Asda at Savile Town. They've been here 60 years.

There's such a contrast between civilisation in countries like Pakistan and India compare to Japan, Singapore and South Korea. Are there many South Asians in these countries?
Australia and New Zealand were not just quick off the mark tackling and containing Covid-19 but similarly with immigration from these two countries. They only make sure the best are allowed in; the rest can fester in their country of birth. |
