Let's discuss how map should be coloured, It seems some patients are admitted in the hospital of a city other than their native city? Should we colour his native district red too or just colour hospital district? -- اُردو ( talk) 07:40, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
The Map is wrong and includes part of India. Please correct it asap as otherwise, this page is part of Pakistani propaganda and should be reported to Wikipedia to ask for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.51.28.151 ( talk) 20:19, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

“Iran pushed Corona virus infected thousands (mostly Shia Zairins from Qom) into Pakistan”, said Prime Minister Imran Khan. Gates of fortresses in Muslims countries were opened from inside for the (enemies), like gates of closed border due to Covid19 were opened at Taftan from inside Pakistan. Now it has infected the country with deadly Corona virus and total lock down costing billions. 119.160.97.2 ( talk) 10:34, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Such an article is inherently unnecessary as it will likely be a stub compared to the main article. The place in question is neither a province nor a district of the country which could possibly warrant a separate article. The number of confirmed cases stemming from this event are counted in the provincial tallies and not separately either. It would better serve as a section in the main article. Discuss. -- Shawnqual ( talk) 2:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Under the Sindh section, it is mentioned that:
"However, reports emerged that rations were being denied to the minority Hindus and Christians. They were told that the supplies were only meant for Muslims. Since the shops are shut due to the lockdown, the minority members state that they are out of food."
This content was added from Indian sources and there is not a single neutral third party source supporting such accusations.
So this content should be removed as Pakistani authorities have rejected these claims made by Indian media.

Following statement is not true ,
A Tablighi Jamaat religious congregation which took place in Lahore in early March 2020 became a coronavirus super-spreader across the country.
Because ,most of the patients were from zaireeen who came back from Iran and become the reason of spread of infection in pakistan, As stated in This article in refrence no 21, 36 and 22. It can also be justified that most of the patient were from taftaan border that could not be screened their properly as In refrence no 32 ,33 Hyderabad patient were also return from Iran , U can also check Sixth patient of corona in Pakistan were from Iran also mentioned in this article.

03:13, 10 April 2020 (UTC)There is a discussion @ Talk:Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on religion#Impact of religion on the pandemic started by mfb
In that discussion the point raised by Kautilya3 religious congregations going ahead in many parts of the world (including Pakistan) & contributing to spread of COVID 19 does not seem to get due coverage and as The wub states is not only bizarre but also horrible & not responsible enough if wiki community fails to give wider & due attention. IMHO
The same point is applicable to article 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Pakistan#Religion. As of now the whole article does not mention problems in Pakistan vis a vis Religion but just a catholic church Cardinal's statement! Are we serious and responsible enough?

Thanks @ Bondegezou for encouraging response, Although usually I work more on women issues, I suppose from tomorrow I shall reserve some time for these issues.
Thanks again & warm regards

Yo. Pakistan government gave permission to congregational prayers during ramzan month. There are many sources out there, here is one. Would someone kindly add this in the article? Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 01:29, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your frank response, I have no issues which article I add criticism part of it, also no issues if WIkipedia community decides to merge the article, I started the same in good faith in utility point of view since I am not sure if we can include the list of 20 points as is in this article, it will unnecessarily increase length of this article. Other option is including dawn's page link in external links here still, we can not be sure of online news papers when they will archive their article.
Please do suggest

The "Religion" section has a non relevant quotation "I also call upon my Christian [...]" seemingly solely for proselytisation purposes.

In the table,date 17 may is written two times.The second entry should be changed to 18 May. 103.255.5.45 ( talk) 20:20, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Done, thanks for catching that. The table is actually stored on this page, so if you tried to edit it that is likely why it didn't work. User:Zoozaz1 ( talk) 00:11, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
Today I am replacing the maps that are currently in use on this article's infobox showcasing the numbers of COVID-19 cases, COVID-19 cases per million, and COVID-19 deaths, which can be found here, here, and here respectively, with my own maps, which are on the same topics, and can be found here, here, and here respectively. The three new files will supersede the files that are in use currently, and will be used.
This is because of the fact that the creator of the current maps, when he did create them, created them using either incorrect data (for that time period), which is still on display or an unclear legend on one of his maps ( the cases per capita one), has, while being active on Wikipedia throughout this time, not updated any of the maps in the last fifteen days to account for any recent changes. The maps we will be using from now on will have none of the aforementioned problems. The original user did have some problems with my maps when I originally tried to use them on this article, which I will now address:
The map you are using is not to scale. It is also not consistent with the Mercator projection.
I do not understand how the map I am not using is not to scale in any way, or how the map I am using is not consistent to the Mercator projection. The map I am using is based on the Mercator projection, and it, anyway, shouldn't matter which projection is being used, as Wikipedia doesn't control the type of projection being used for maps on Wikipedia, and historically, Wikipedians have used all sorts of projections to convey information. If you'd like to know the source of my maps, you can check the maps listed on the websites of Pakistan Bureau of Statistics or the Survey of Pakistan, as my map was built directly off maps (Mercator maps chosen just for the original author) from those two sources using Gimp. In fact, it is the map that is being used currently that doesn't fit with the Mercator Projection, as it, like many other maps of Pakistan found on Wikipedia, is stretched 115% in the N/S direction.
The borders of the map lack detail.
I have halved the thickness of all of the borders to allow for more detail, but the borders of my map have as much detail as the size of the borders allow them to (10 px. for the national border and 5 px. subnationally). My map, however, is correct and seems far more accurate than the old map on many respects, such as the border of Northern AJK with Indian Kashmir, and the Punjabi exclaves in Sindh that the old map seems to omit. In fact, the map that was being used lacks a lot of detail, especially with Islamabad's area, and it's shameful how little detail is on that map given how small the borders are and the size of the resolution.
The legends and its colors have been set for a reason and you must not change them as you see fit.
That may have been true for my older maps, but my current map does not have these flaws. The legends and colors I am using currently have been pulled directly from Color Scheme E, which can be found here.
The files should not have time-stamps in them. The dates are to be instead stated in the infobox.
The timestamps have been removed from my maps.
You must never change the Author of the file and state yourself as one, even when you have uploaded a newer version of the file.
You must not change the summary of the file without consulting the original author.
I've restored the description, legend, and author of the original file and have created my own file. I was not aware of this policy.
You must not rush to update the files.
That is true. I'm now going to be updating the files every day whenever a subdivision moves into a new category and renders the previous map inaccurate at 12:00 A.M. PKT or 19:00 UTC.
I hope these resolve all of the issues, and if anybody has any specific problems with my maps, I'll be happy to accommodate their requests. -- Abbasi786786 ( talk) 23:30, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
