Studies where PPE was examined for general infection control were also included, given respiratory protective equipment (face masks and/or respirators) was mentioned. Two studies examined the guidelines and current practices on the use of face masks/respirators for influenza, tuberculosis and SARS in Pakistan [21, 22] . Medical masks were generally used to protect from influenza, tuberculosis and other respiratory infections, while the use of respirators was limited to high-risk situations [21, 22] . doi = 10.1016/j.jiph.2020.02.032 id = cord-265996-97xxpe8m author = Din, M. title = Delays in polio vaccination programs due to COVID-19 in Pakistan: a major threat to Pakistan's long war against polio virus date = 2020-10-13 keywords = Pakistan summary = doi = 10.1016/j.puhe.2020.09.004 id = cord-221652-rsxw0q0e author = Farooq, Fizza title = Effect of Lockdown on the spread of COVID-19 in Pakistan date = 2020-05-18 keywords = Pakistan summary = doi = nan id = cord-260583-n20y2zep author = Haqqi, Aleena title = COVID‐19 and Salmonella Typhi co‐epidemics in Pakistan: A real problem date = 2020-07-15 keywords = Pakistan summary = doi = 10.1002/jmv.26293 id = cord-275897-j9cwlzxu author = Hashmi, Ali M. title = New Horizons: COVID-19 and the Burden of Neuropsychiatric Illness in Pakistan date = 2020-05-17 keywords = Pakistan; covid-19 summary = doi = 10.12669/pjms.36.covid19-s4.2792 id = cord-275445-d3i12m3l author = Hashmi, Madiha title = A national survey of critical care services in hospitals accredited for training in a lower-middle income country: Pakistan date = 2020-08-21 keywords = ICU; Pakistan; care summary = doi = 10.1016/j.jcrc.2020.08.017 id = cord-030959-olcz7g19 author = Hussain, Ejaz title = China–Pakistan Economic Cooperation: The Case of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) date = 2020-08-28 keywords = CPEC; China; Economic; Pakistan; Special; chinese summary = doi = 10.1007/s40647-020-00292-5 id = cord-034495-gvtv8o96 author = Hussain, Kashif title = Pharmacy services during COVID-19 pandemic: experience from a tertiary care teaching hospital in Pakistan date = 2020-11-02 keywords = COVID-19; Pakistan; pharmacy summary = doi = 10.1186/s40545-020-00277-5 id = cord-258879-dueab356 author = Imran, Nazish title = Psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic on postgraduate trainees: a cross-sectional survey date = 2020-08-25 keywords = Pakistan; covid-19; psychological summary = doi = 10.1136/postgradmedj-2020-138364 id = cord-303102-ap1dzbp9 author = Iqbal, Sajid title = It is time to control the worst: testing COVID-19 outbreak, energy consumption and CO(2) emission date = 2020-11-12 keywords = Pakistan; consumption; covid-19; energy summary = While, due to COVID-19 outbreak, several health issues have been raised and such issues are becoming serious days by day, more specifically in frugal economies like Pakistan, this impact is very critical, and now, an economic shock is being perceived; lockdown is being extended continuously; and by the effect of lockdown fuel consumption, CO 2 emission, energy demand and supply declined and market mechanism is altered very speedily. By the fact, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the energy sector of the world as a whole, and eventually, the demand graph of oil supplies have become bearish; oil market prices faced a decline; and big economies like the USA are bidding the oil-free of cost (Malamud and Núñez 2020) .

A higher correlation coefficient was observed between temperature (minimum, maximum, and Fig. 11 Humidity in provinces and administrative areas Environ Sci Pollut Res average) and COVID-19 cases for all provinces and administrative units (Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad Capital Territory, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir). doi = 10.1007/s11356-020-11203-2 id = cord-308556-xi2un0kc author = Saadat, S. title = Covid-19 SEIDRD Modelling for Pakistan with implementation of seasonality, healthcare capacity and behavioral risk reduction date = 2020-09-02 keywords = Pakistan; September; case summary = doi = 10.1101/2020.09.01.20182642 id = cord-255376-nqq5ieyg author = Safdar, Muhammad title = COVID‐19: A threat to educated Muslim women's negotiated identity in Pakistan date = 2020-05-08 keywords = COVID-19; Nisa; Pakistan; muslim; woman summary = doi = 10.1111/gwao.12457 id = cord-318390-uuz37610 author = Saleem, Tayyaba title = COVID-19 containment and its unrestrained impact on epilepsy management in resource-limited areas of Pakistan date = 2020-09-25 keywords = Pakistan; covid-19; epilepsy summary = The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that led to an unprecedented crisis with significant health, social, and economic repercussions presented more serious concerns for those living with some chronic conditions such as epilepsy. The current study, which holds 77% of the respondents from rural areas and 23% from urban settings, showed that partial measures of lockdown taken to stop or slow the spread of COVID-19 resulted in adverse economic and health outcomes in the said population including cancelation of follow-up visits, worsening of seizures, job loss, burden of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) costs, and discontinuation of medicines. The present study was aimed to find out the impact of COVID-19 containment measures on the management strategy of low literate caregivers of patients living in resource-limited areas of Pakistan, one of the active hotspots of the pandemic. doi = 10.1016/j.yebeh.2020.107476 id = cord-318240-wxtktbfa author = Salman, Muhammad title = How Prepared Was Pakistan for the COVID-19 Outbreak? date = 2020-07-14 keywords = Pakistan summary = doi = 10.1017/dmp.2020.247 id = cord-310293-0s7l0l4k author = Salman, Saima title = Inter-hospital communication and transfer practices during COVID-19 Pandemic in Karachi, Pakistan.

Like many other parts of the developing world, foodborne disease surveillance is limited and outbreaks are most often reported through the Press but with insufficient detail to determine the etiological agents and the factors contributing to the outbreaks, leading to speculation to the cause by those interested or responsible for food prevention and control. Thus, the main foodborne disease issues are with homemade, restaurant and street food, where isolated claims of illness are followed up by inspections and possible punitive action by public health agencies responsible for food safety. doi = 10.1007/978-3-319-48920-9_17 id = cord-337155-e4gn4fo1 author = Ullah, Atta title = The nexus between capital structure, firm-specific factors, macroeconomic factors and financial performance in the textile sector of Pakistan date = 2020-08-31 keywords = Pakistan; ROE; capital; performance summary = The study aimed to analyse the role of the capital structure in the financial performance of 90 textile firms listed in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) during the period 2008–2017. The results indicate that the capital structure debt to equity variable has a negative and significant relationship with financial performance while the asset turnover ratio and firm performance showed a negative and statistically insignificant relationship. The current study thus contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the firm-specific factors that affect the performance of the textile sector firms that are listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) concerning capital structure choices. The relationship of firms'' financing choice based on the capital structure, export growth, taxation, and financial performance (ROE) is a new variable in this particular study based on the textile sector. The current study aimed to highlight the relationship between the determinants of the capital structure and its impact on firm financial performance in the textile sector of Pakistan. doi = 10.1016/j.heliyon.2020.e04741 id = cord-290952-tbsccwgx author = Ullah, Saif title = Modeling the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on the dynamics of novel coronavirus with optimal control analysis with a case study date = 2020-07-03 keywords = Pakistan; covid-19; model summary = In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to explore the transmission dynamics and possible control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan, one of the Asian countries with a high burden of disease with more than 100,000 confirmed infected cases so far. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to explore the transmission dynamics and possible control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan, one of the Asian countries with a high burden of disease with more than 100,000 confirmed infected cases so far. The effect of low (or mild), moderate, and comparatively strict control interventions like social-distancing, quarantine rate, (or contact-tracing of suspected people) and hospitalization (or self-isolation) of testing positive COVID-19 cases are shown graphically.
