Abstract

This study reviewed the status of various management sectors of Pakistan, i.e., education, health, and economic. The current international economic disease COVID-19 is the highlighted determinant because it almost affects all the segments. It was initially diagnosed in China and then spread all over the world. It is declared as Coronavirus and also as a global pandemic by WHO. So, the Pakistan health ministry prepared some plans of action to fight global pandemics like the rest of the world health ministries under theguidelines of Global Health Security. After diagnosing the first patient in Pakistan, it spreads exponentially, and after few days, it covered hundreds and thousands of people. The infection line remained straight upwards till September 1, 2020, and then it shifts downwards from November 15, 2020, to January 15, 2021. In this situation, the Pakistani government and health ministry took several hard decisions to minimize that pandemic's effect. One of them is lockdown which almost took by every country. Theeffect of lockdown in Pakistan is from November 15, 2020, because the curve of COVID-19 moving to declined. This global pandemic destroyed every sector of the country; in 2020, Pakistan's budget deficit is -2.3% and after that pandemic in 2021 budget deficit reached -8.1%, which created an alarming situation in Pakistan and the rest of the world. But after the proper management by the Pakistan government, the budget 2020-2021 schemes improved the total revenue of Pakistan up to 7.4% of the GDP and reduced the expenditure that resulted in a deficit reduction. Conclusively, despite Coronavirus, the GDP of Pakistan significantly improved in the past few years. So in this study discussed the problem created by global pandemic COVID-19 and how the government of Pakistan overcame this global issue.
