Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan tests positive for COVID-19 two days after being vaccinated
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has tested positive for COVID-19 two days after being given a vaccination, the country’s health minister says.
Key points:
- Mr Khan had met with members of the public without a mask recently
- He received a COVID vaccination on Thursday
- Officials say he is isolating at home following the test result
Mr Khan is “self-isolating at home,” tweeted Faisal Sultan, without giving further details as to whether other people who have been in contact with the Prime Minister would also be isolating.
The 68-year-old cricket great-turned-leader has been holding regular and frequent meetings lately, including attending a security conference held in the capital Islamabad that was attended by a large number of people.
