Addressing a press briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, he said the government is fully prepared in combating the outbreak and is taking all possible measures to protect the citizens of Pakistan.
He said Pakistan and China are continuously sharing information on the cases of corona virus and mutual collaboration will help in controlling the outbreak.
Dr Zafar Mirza confirmed that four Pakistani students affected from corona virus in China are being treated properly and recovering from the virus.
