Earlier on March 20, Dr Faisal Sultan announced that the premier had tested positive for COVID-19 and was isolating at home. His wife, Pakistan’s First Lady Bushra Bibi also tested positive.
The premier had also received a coronavirus shot. Doctors said the vaccine did not have enough time to be effective and that PM Imran may have contracted the virus a few days prior to developing symptoms for it.
Om March 28, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on National Health Services Dr Faisal Sultan had announced that Prime Minister Imran Khan has made steady clinical recovery from COVID-19 and may resume work soon.
In a Tweet, the special assistant said PM Imran’s lab parameters have remained stable. “The prime minister has been advised that he may resume work and build up his work routine over the next few days,” he wrote.
Earlier on Monday, President Arif Alvi and Defence Minister Pervez Khattak had tested positive for COVID-19, days after the former got the first dose of the anti-COVID jab.
Keeping in view the rising number of COVID-19 cases amid the third wave of the disease, NCOC head and Federal Minister for Planning Asad Umar had asked the provinces to ensure strict compliance of the COVID-related SOPs.
In a letter to the provinces, Asad Umar had said social and political gatherings were the main cause of the spread of COVID-19. He highlighted that people were not following SOPs issued by the NCOC to limit the spread of Covid-19 in the ceremonies.
