Islamabad: Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has tested positive for COVID-19, the special assistant to the PM on health Dr. Faisal Sultan revealed on Twitter.

 

According to Sultan, the prime minister has isolated himself at home after the test report.

 

Khan on Thursday received the first shot of vaccination against COVID-19 and urged the citizens of his country to ensure the full implementation of norms to prevent the surge in cases.

 

On Wednesday, Pakistan received 500,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine from China, bringing the country’s total supply to one million shots.

 

Imran Khan was vaccinated as part of the nationwide anti-coronavirus vaccination campaign which is underway in its first phase.

 

In Pakistan, the COVID-19 vaccine is being provided to people 60 years of age and above and also to front-line health workers.

 

After getting the jab, Khan appealed to the nation to ensure full implementation of SOPs in view of the third wave of the pandemic.

 

Pakistan on Thursday also imposed smart lockdowns in areas worst hit by the coronavirus amid a spike in the number of cases.
