Prime Minister Imran Khan has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self isolating at home.
Sixty-eight-year-old Khan has been seen on various occasions without wearing a mask.
News reports said Khan had taken the first shot of a Coivid-19 vaccine, Sinopharm, developed by China, two days ago.
Pakistan's Ministry of National Health Services issued a statement asserting the effectiveness of the Chinese vaccine.
"Prime Minister Imran Khan was not fully vaccinated when he contracted the virus. He only got the 1st dose and merely 2 days ago which is too soon for ANY vaccine to become effective. Anti-bodies develop 2-3 weeks after 2nd dose of 2-dose COVID vaccines. #VaccinesWork"
