KP is an outlier on public awareness and legitimacy of the #COVID19 response. The lesson here is that they've been strategic and started early. Remember, KP began this at a disadvantage - decades of under-investment in the health sector + resistance to vaccines.
Weeks ahead of the national debate, KP worked with @undp_pk to develop a strategy. First, what @jhagra calls "the public awareness war" is designed to ensure that the people trust that the Govt is transparent, credible, and in control.

Social distancing is practically a physical distance between two persons, prescribed to prevent person to person transmission of a disease. How effective will this measure be in a country with a population of 207 million and average household size of approximately 7 members?
The situation gets complicated when we realize that approximately 68% of the households have 2 or less rooms and more than half of the population lives with extended family. In such a situation, social distancing becomes a challenging issue. #PakistanFightsCorona #Pakistan
