Confusion amid the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be an unending problem. Despite instructions from the state government to not test people brought dead to the hospital for COVID-19, bodies of two teenagers who drowned at Marve Creek on Sunday evening have been kept at the mortuary so as to be tested.

Six teens from Malwani had visited Marve creek on Sunday evening and two of them entered the water to play. Despite the efforts of their friends to save them, the two — Mohsin Wahid Shah, 18 and Mohammed Ashraf Choudhary, 14 drowned. They were rushed to a nearby hospital where they were declared dead.
