The government has also allocated $25 million for the Public Health Ministry to combat the virus, $18mn of which are allocated to specific areas and provincial-based needs.
The current plan is to tackle for cases up to 1,000, said head of government hospitals Nizamuddin Jalil.
“If the number goes up, we should move on to our next plan. This plan was presented to the president and donors who have partnered with us,” said Jaill.
