ISLAMABAD, May 8 — Coronavirus cases in Pakistan surged past 25,000 today, just hours before the government was due to lift lockdown measures, with the country reporting some of the biggest daily increases in new infections in the world. Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced plans to begin lifting Pakistan's poorly enforced lockdown from tomorrow, amid fears for the country's economy as it sinks into recession.

The government's handling of the virus has been strongly criticised by scientists and doctors who fear the outbreak will gather pace among a population of around 210 million and overwhelm the country's struggling health system.
