History[edit]

During the Corona Virus pandemic there was less or no coordination between the Federal Government of Pakistan and the provincial governments. In order to solve this issue and to keep a sharp eye on the country's changing situation during the pandemic, Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan ordered to formulate the NCOC in April, 2021.[3][1][4][5]

NCOC is basically the operational hub through which constant information about Covid-19 has streamed. Consistently, the four provinces and the federal Government of Pakistan meet up to analyze the information, and the experiences and patterns that it reflects, to recognize what estimates should be taken to curb the spread of Corona Virus in the country.[6][7]

Soon after it's creation, an official website (https://covid.gov.pk/) for Corona related information and helpdesk was designed and developed by National Information Technology Board in collaboration with ECOM PK (Pvt.) Ltd. Corona data updated by the NCOC on daily basis.[8]
