SAPM Awan said that opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif should "quarantine his coronavirus-infected thinking".

She said that the government had taken him onboard but all he did was provide criticism.

"Instead of sitting in his five-star office, wearing a mask and lecturing the government, he should have been seen amongst the people doing something.

"These problems will not be solved with just lip service."

Awan added that she hoped that he would donate generously to the prime minister's coronavirus relief fund.
