Please take every precaution to ensure that you and people
around you are safe. The Government of Pakistan has

As the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation continues to rapidly evolve, we understand it is on our customers minds, everywhere in Pakistan. Our number one priority right now – and always – is the health and safety of our employees, business partners and most importantly, our customers.
We have analyzed information from authentic sources, used our understanding of the current environment and the situation surrounding COVID-19 to come up with actionable guidance for you.
Under the Jazz Corporate Social Responsibility campaign for #Covid19, two of our campaign partners are Shaukat Khanum Foundation and Edhi Foundation.
In the first program Jazz will distribute food rations for the benefit of 3,000 Pakistanis. There are about 8,000 Covid-19 prevention kits that will also be distributed. To support the backlog on testing, Jazz will enable 1000 Covid-19 testing kits at nationwide Shaukat Khanum sites.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause respiratory infections. These can range from the common cold to more serious diseases.
COVID-19 is an infectious condition, which means it can spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another.

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 when coughing or sneezing.

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Clean your hands regularly and thoroughly with a hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and water.
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty in breathing, it is best if you stay at home. But if symptoms persist it’s important that you reach out to Government's official helpline 1166.
