Pakistan has confirmed its first two cases of the novel coronavirus, but the government has assured the public that there was "no need to panic".

 
"I can confirm first two cases of coronavirus in Pakistan. Both cases are being taken care of according to clinical standard protocols and both of them are stable," Dawn news quoted Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Health Zafar Mirza as saying in a tweet on Wednesday evening.
