The Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) for polio in Sindh has confirmed a new case from Kashmore, which has raised the tally of polio cases in Sindh to six and in Pakistan to 18 this year so far. EOC Sindh spokesperson said a 30-month old male child has been affected by polio with weakness in right lower limb, in UC Cheel in Kashmore district with the date of onset being 03-02-2020. The child had received seven doses according to parents but zero routine immunization. National EOC and Sindh EOC have started to fight back to get polio eradication on track and reverse this trend. The first step was the successful Dec NID followed by a case response in January and yet another campaign conducted in February. In Karachi the February campaign achieved 97.4 percent administrative coverage while the results for the rest of Sindh divisions look encouraging and will be compiled and shared by Monday. Spokesperson said the efforts and delivery of quality campaigns over the next few months will bridge the immunity gap that will Insha-Allah lead to significant decrease in intensity of virus transmission in 2nd half of 2020 and we will see results.
