Abstract

Around the last week of Feb 2020, I was asked a question, whether Radiological Society of Pakistan (RSP) would have a role to play at National level in containing Covid-19 epidemic in China and now beginning to spread outside China territory. It did not even cross my mind then that this corona virus would actually spread to Pakistan and that too not directly from China, but via other countries. Now it seem like a thing of the past, though it only arrived in Pakistan a few months ago. In Pakistan the Covid-19 case diagnostic testing, quarantining and documenting started in the same week with an average lag time of about 6 weeks behind the rest of the western world.
