KP tested record 2,216 suspected patients yesterday and 487 tests came back positive. Islamabad registered another 171 new cases in a single day.
Deaths in the country declined to 60 from 88 a day earlier, as Punjab reported 22 while Sindh said 16 patients died in 24 hours.

A NCOC meeting held on Saturday said that Pakistan is likely to see a peak on June 15th, and it’s likely that cases and deaths will plateau after June 15.
