Respiratory Syndrome SARS-CoV-2, which started in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has affected more than 200 countries. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. During this pandemic, the media has played an important role in disseminating information regarding infection, precautions, and vaccination. In this context, this study analyses the framing of COVID-19 in the Pakistani press. For this study, the data was collected from two highly circulated Urdu language newspapers; Jang and Nawa-i-Waqt between February to July 2020. The findings revealed that by providing proper attention to COVID-19, the Pakistani newspapers (Daily Jang and Daily Nawa-i-Waqt) did not publish in-depth stories. Both newspapers relied on elite sources such as government, health department officials, and paramedical staff. The marginalized sources such as the public and labor were also cited in the news. The finding further revealed that most of the frames used were alarming and inducing panic. However, reassuring frames were used rarely. The stories emphasized more on death tolls and cases of COVID-19 in comparison to offering solutions frames.
