       Sources revealed the ministry will send these details to its interior counterpart to start procedures for these patients to leave the country. Sources pointed out this will reduce pressure on the health system that has been dealing with the corona pandemic for one year and a half now, as a significant number of beds will be allotted for other patients who are suffering from chronic diseases or the critical corona patients.
