With the lock down being eased and markets allowed to open, people have been believing that Corona has died down and the pandemic is coming to an end.
And after crossing 70,000 plus cases, people have come to realize that it’s no joke and needs to be taken seriously:
Such a strong picture. Please take precautionary measures. Please care for the doctors who have put their life on risk for us. #CoronaIsNotAJoke pic.twitter.com/LKzSsFSnFx

People were reminding others of social distancing:

Priorities:
I refuse to discuss gossip in middle of a pandemic. You guys are crazy! See the trends. They should be about the people dying daily, the hospitals being full, the precautions we can take. You are all stupid! Human life ki literally koi value nahi hai #CoronainPakistan

And avoid touching your face at all costs:
#CoronaIsNotAJoke
Wash your hands often with soap & water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, & after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.#KashmirisHaveRightToLive pic.twitter.com/UCxZuNtTba— Nasrullah Khan (@Peaceforiok) June 1, 2020
WAKE UP!
With 3039 new cases and 88 deaths a new single day record for Pakistan but still lot of people think virus is a hoax.#CoronainPakistan#COVID19Pakistan

Live smart:
#Pandemic is not over yet.
People have falsely translated this sentence by the PM where said, “we will have to live with it”. Living with it doesn’t mean living the way we used to live. Living with it means, less exposure and contact as much as possible. #CoronainPakistan pic.twitter.com/lp8DsU3sE5

People were sharing their experiences to warn others:
Agar logon ke dil nah hilen iss maa ki awaz sun ke toh sab ka Allah hi hafiz hy.
Dr Shabnam Tahir tells @MalickViews that she might have passed on the virus to her teen son who died within 72 hours…this is heartbreaking 😢#CoronainPakistan pic.twitter.com/cR4U8tvJe5— Asma Ali Zain (@asmaalizain) May 31, 2020
Face masks were also made mandatory for everyone to wear:
Face masks are now mandatory to be worn by everybody while in crowded public places, mosques, bazaars, shopping malls, public transport ie road, rail and flights. We have reviewed our guidelines for wearing masks and have added a mandatory section <311>. https://t.co/K8xnM8TcG7

It’s no joke:
Criminal irresponsibility by public has resulted in sharp increase in no. of Corona cases and deaths in Pakistan. PLZ act like responsible citizen, observe SOPs in letter & spirit. Life is precious, take care of yourself and your family. #coronapakistan#CoronaInPakistan pic.twitter.com/NGQKPRZYDQ

Covid19
As Per health experts, if someone has been in quarantine for 14 days after exposure to the virus and they have not shown any symptoms of the illness, they are not at risk of spreading the virus to others. However, common precautions must still be taken.. pic.twitter.com/52jqOr3YDg— Noorsaif 🌿💙💞💙🌿 (@Sai_f0077) June 1, 2020
Can’t stress enough on how important this is:
It is advisable to not share the same bed, towels, utensils, etc with someone who is suspected of having the disease. The suspected person should use only one washroom in the house, while others should avoid using it.@TheTeamPatriot pic.twitter.com/v5h380dz5A

All your corona myths busted, it’s very real and very serious!
Falana uncle was on dialysis for years and died from kidney failure. Falana aunty’s young son had sudden cardiac arrest and died from heart failure. Doctors reported covid cases. Doctors are lying about covid deaths. Let me tell you why this propaganda is gross misconception.

Do you?
I personally know people who are saying that the govt. Is exaggerating this….
Seriously we aren't facing a huge number YET, it doesn't makes it fake. So all you want is to have cases from your town, street or neighborhood to believe?#coronavirus #CoronainPakistan #COVIDー19 pic.twitter.com/xM77LMOffx— Manahil بٹ (@ManahilBsays) June 1, 2020

Exactly!
New fad.
Instead of getting themselves tested, some ppl on twitter be like “GUiZ i mAy hAvE SyMpToMs”.
Go get yourself tested so you stop the spread n save yourself ! (Or QUIT joking about it). #CoronainPakistan #CoronaIsNotAJoke

It’s in your own hands:
We are in the middle of a global pandemic where just speaking can spread the virus. Imagine what yelling or crying out in pain can do.
Many are mask-less.
This is about to get way worse for all of us.#CoronaIsNotAJoke@TheTeamPatriot pic.twitter.com/OT2k3CsUlQ
