Pakistan Hospitals Running Out of Beds as Virus Cases Surge Past 100,000

Agence France-Presse

   Pakistan has recorded more than 100,000 cases of coronavirus, health
   authorities said Monday, as hospitals warned they are running out of
   beds to treat patients.

   Pakistan -- and neighbors India and Afghanistan-- have lagged behind
   Western nations in virus tolls, but experts warn a lack of testing or
   accurate reporting in rural areas could be hiding true figures.

   In recent weeks, however, the country of more than 210 million has
   reported a sharp rise in new infections, and on Monday the government
   said more than 100,000 cases and 2,000 deaths had now been recorded.
