Punjab reported eight more fatalities according to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) bringing the provincial death toll to 202. However, their total somehow made a mistake as they actually decreased the number of fatalities from the previous 194 down to 191. We have attached both their new and old update.

Old Update (7 May 2020):

This is the older update that showed 194 fatalities.

New Update (8 May 2020):

This is the new update showing a total death toll of 191 for Punjab after adding 8 more fatalities to yesterday’s number which is a mistake at their end. If fatalities were removed because they were added because of error, they did not inform any such reason.

As a result, we are taking this total as a human error and taking the correct total according to the new fatalities which comes down to 202.

10,471 individuals have been infected with #Corvid19 in Punjab till now. 438 new cases have been detected in the province in 24 hrs while 4,192 tests have been carried out. 8 more lives have been lost bringing the total number of fatalities to 191 in the #CoronavirusOutbreak pic.twitter.com/laVZ6HB5tB
