The fifth environmental sample taken from the city for the poliovirus has tested negative, according to the Lahore deputy commissioner, who was speaking to journalists. He added that four environmental tests for the virus had previously tested negative.
He thanked the doctors, polio staff, and parents for their efforts in keeping the city polio-free.
