Islamabad [Pakistan], Apr 07 : The total number of coronavirus cases in Pakistan sharply increased to 4,004. The death toll has reached 55.

Punjab has the highest number of coronavirus cases with the tally standing at 2004. The province accounts for more than half of Pakistan's COVID-19 cases.

Sindh has 986 cases, meanwhile, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have 202 cases and 500 cases respectively.

Police here on Monday arrested doctors and medical staff, who were protesting over the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) kits for safety while treating coronavirus patients.
