Reports indicate that the Type-1 Wild Poliovirus has been detected in sewage pipelines. According to sources, the districts that have been impacted are Karachi South, Korangi, and Dera Bugti in Balochistan.

The specimens were gathered for poliovirus examination from 11 to 13 June.

According to the sources, the discovery of three new samples has caused the number of positive sewage samples to increase to 214 in 2024.

The process of collecting samples for polio testing took place in the districts that were affected from June 6 to 11. As of now, Pakistan has documented a total of eight instances of poliovirus in the year 2024.

Pakistan documented two further instances of polio in June, originating from the regions of Sindh and Balochistan.

The National Institute of Health has verified two instances of polio: a two-year-old toddler from Qila Abdullah in Balochistan and a three-year-old female from Karachi Kemari.

Last year, Pakistan documented a total of six instances of polio, with four cases originating from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and two cases from Karachi.

Polio is an extremely contagious illness that can result in paralysis, impairment, and sometimes fatal outcomes. Immunization is the most efficacious method for averting polio, and Pakistan has been diligently administering vaccines to millions of children below the age of five to impede the transmission of the illness.

Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether the afflicted youngster received immunisation for polio or not.
