Abstract
Pakistan is also seeing the profound effect of the outbreak of COVID-19, which demands an urgent investigation of literature and further scientific investigation for cure and prevention. This study has employed the systematic approach for searching the literature from the recently compiled database of researches namely COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) and related diseases. The literature on Pakistan has shown the evidence of human-to-human and animal-to-human transmission of viruses, the presence of antibodies of MERS-CoV in camels, and careless attitude towards preventive measures of such respiratory diseases. There is a lot of gap in the literature regarding coronaviruses and their antibodies creating herd immunity for another coronavirus and COVID-19. In particular to Pakistan, and in general, for other developing countries, a weak health-care system coupled with the trembling economy has many implications of COVID-19 which should be carefully thought-out to combat the spread.
Highlights
Ensuring public health safety has become the utmost priority for the governments and policy-making institutions across the globe and in Pakistan as well
We reviewed the titles and abstracts and retained 40 articles on Pakistan
In the context of religious gatherings, their findings were recently validated as pilgrims from Saudi Arabia, and Iran is identified as a primary source of transmission in Pakistan
Summary
Ensuring public health safety has become the utmost priority for the governments and policy-making institutions across the globe and in Pakistan as well. The health-care provision in Pakistan is not good, and public sector hospitals are unable to take the complete burden of communicable and non-communicable disease patients. The health-care provision in Pakistan is a mix which is mainly for government officials, and the rest of the people rely on out of pocket medical spending mainly provided by the private sector [5]. Under such circumstances, this research is an effort to scientifically and systematically analyze the COVID-19 related literature which will help people around the world to identify the relevant research gaps, and in particular, to. Every country struck by COVID-19 is important as if it fails to fight it will remain a threat to the world for exportation of the disease
