A Pakistan government website, dedicated to Covid-19, is being derided by netizens of the country for the display of "poor English" skills on a public portal.
While listing out the causes of Coronavirus disease, the government website mentioned “hot fever” as a coronavirus symptom - fever cannot be categorized as hot and cold - and failing to clearly convey COVID-19 symptoms with lucidity.
The website wanted to inform the people about the symptoms of coronavirus, mentioned by WHO as high fever, sore throat and shortness of breath among others.
Govt of Pakistan can't even get the symptoms right on its main portal and we expect of them to lead the fight against Covid-19. pic.twitter.com/agKwOPvMVu

On 18 May, Twitter went down across Pakistan for unspecified reasons. Several people, however, accessed the site through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and accused the government of disrupting the social media platform.
