believed to be obligatory for Muslim men. The Minister of Science and Technology, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain expressed his disappointment over conservative
stance, while the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) along with the Pakistan Bar Association (PBA) demanded a complete lockdown in the country. The federal
government upon the warning of PMA and senior doctors that relaxing the lockdown could cause a spike in the cases, decided to extend the lockdown until the

representatives for Mosque congregations.[174][175][176]

level) from 26 February (the day of the first two cases) - 9 March was taken by compiling news reports about the pandemic in Pakistan that minutely covered the

The three line graphs below give a detailed overview of the current and historical case, recovery, and death counts throughout the Pakistan. The first two show the
exponential growth of the pandemic in the country by using a linear scale for their Y-Axes. The third plot uses a Logarithmic scale for its Y-Axis to show relationships
between the trends. On a Logarithmic Scale, data that shows exponential growth will plot as a straight line. Each major division is a factor of ten. This makes the
slope of the plot the relative rate of change anywhere in the timeline, which allows comparison of one plot with the others throughout the pandemic.

Fatality Rates

The chart below displays the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of COVID-19 within Pakistan. The two different trendlines represent different methods of measuring CFR
during a pandemic. The first line shows the CFR when calculated using the most common method (Dividing the total number of deaths by the number of confirmed
cases) and the second line shows the CFR when deaths are divided by the number of closed cases (the number you get when you add the number of recoveries and
the number of deaths). By the end of the pandemic, barring any major demographic shifts, the Case Fatality Rate should end up somewhere between the two values
(as they stand currently).
The latest data on the graph below pertains to 5 September 2020

Case Fatality Rate: Deaths ÷ Confirmed Cases

Fatality Rate: Deaths ÷ Closed Cases (Recoveries + Deaths)

Testing Statistics

The two charts below display historical COVID-19 testing data since 3 April, when reliable testing data became available in Pakistan. The first chart covers raw data
of numbers of cumulative tests, new tests, and cumulative confirmed cases and new confirmed case counts for comparison with testing numbers. It can be viewed on
a linear or logarithmic scale. The second chart shows different types of test positivity rates in Pakistan since the same date. In the second chart, the total positivity rate
(Cumulative Confirmed Cases ÷ Cumulative Tests Performed), the daily positivity rate (Daily New Confirmed Cases ÷ Daily New Performed Tests), and a Seven-
Day Positivity Rates (Confirmed Cases over the last seven days ÷ Performed Tests over the last seven days) are all compared.

Regional

The chart below shows the total number of cumulative confirmed cases in each one of Pakistan's seven administrative units. It can be viewed on either a linear scale,
or a logarithmic scale, to better differentiate between each administrative unit and their trajectory.

District-Wise

The data in this section has been taken from many different sources. The data for the districts of Punjab,[279] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,[280] and Balochistan[281] can be
found on Twitter pages usually run by provincial governments, where official data is frequently posted and updated. Gilgit-Baltistan[282] had the same setup until 30
June, when updates on the situation there abruptly ended, and now it is the only administrative unit of Pakistan where district-wise data on COVID-19 is not
available. The data for Sindh's districts can be found on the website of Sindh's health department, where a "Daily Situation Report"[283] is released daily. The districts
of Azad Jammu & Kashmir all have data released on a live dashboard, similar to the federal government's.[284]

The latest data on the two tables below pertains to 6 September 2020 in the case of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 5 September 2020 in the cases of Punjab, Sindh,
Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and the Islamabad Capital Territory, and 4 September 2020 in the case of Balochistan. No district-wise data is available for
Gilgit-Baltistan, but the territory as a whole had a population of approximately 1,301,000 and (on 5 September) had confirmed 2,979 COVID-19 cases.
