Lahore's hospitals are witnessing a surge in patients exhibiting COVID-19-like symptoms, yet teaching hospitals lack the necessary testing facilities to confirm suspected cases, sources have reported. Patients with symptoms such as cough, fever, breathing issues, and intense body aches are flocking to hospitals each day, but their conditions remain unverified as government teaching hospitals are presently not performing COVID-19 tests, according to sources.
This absence of testing means medical professionals cannot ascertain if the patients' ailments are due to COVID-19 or another respiratory illness. Despite the reported increase in patients displaying COVID-like symptoms, government teaching hospitals have failed to set up testing facilities, which has also hindered health authorities' ability to identify confirmed cases and implement measures to monitor or curb potential virus spread.
Currently, no official data confirming a rise in COVID-19 cases in Lahore has been published, as suspected patients are not being tested at the affected government hospitals.
