In the shadow of the coronavirus, Pakistan is the third day of Eid al-Adha

As Muslims across Pakistan celebrate this religious holiday, the coronavirus has cast a shadow on Eid al-Adha celebrations for the second year in a row.

The Eid al-Fitr celebrations in the country come at a time when COVID-19 cases are witnessing a steady rise and the threat of Delta variants is imminent.

Since Eid al-Fitr may become a super-spreader incident-and the possible cause of the fourth wave-the government has urged the nation to reduce gatherings.
