PM Imran khan has 'fully recovered' from Covid-19
Prime Minister Imran Khan has "fully recovered" from the coronavirus, PTI Senator Faisal Javed Khan said on March 3,2021.
The premier's positive diagnosis was announced 10 days ago, on March 20.
"He has resumed work gradually and began build up his work routine as per doctors' instructions keeping in sight national and international guidelines," Javed tweeted, urging the general public to require precautions to stop the spread of the virus.
It wasn't immediately clear if Prime Minister Imran has returned a negative test.
The premier had gone into self-isolation reception after testing positive for the virus. His wife and first lady Bushra Bibi was also confirmed to possess the virus an equivalent day.
Imran came under severe criticism from the opposition last week after he presided over a gathering of his media team at his Banigala residence while he was alleged to be under quarantine.
The opposition said the prime minister had himself violated standard operating procedures despite the third wave of the virus underway within the country and involved the registration of a primary Information Report against all the people that attended the meeting for violating the SOPs.
None of the government's spokespersons could defend the prime minister adequately on his act of chairing a gathering during the quarantine period and lots of of them avoided engaging with media personnel over the difficulty.

On Sunday, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health Dr Faisal Sultan said Imran khan had made "steady clinical recovery" from Covid-19 which he had been advised that he could resume work and build up his work routine over subsequent few days.
Following the prime minister's positive test result, the Ministry of National Health Services had clarified that the premier wasn't "fully vaccinated" when he contracted the virus.
"He only got the primary dose merely two days ago which is just too soon for ANY vaccine to become effective. Antibodies develop 2-3 weeks after the second dose of 2-dose Covid vaccines," it said.
Later, SAPM Sultan said it had been important to know how vaccines worked. "No vaccine works immediately after being administered. Antibodies can take a minimum of two to 3 weeks to develop."
He said that for two-dose vaccines, like the one from Sinopharm, antibodies could take two to 3 weeks to develop after the second dose.
Dr Javed Akram — a member of the federal government's Covid-19 task force — said that it had been not uncommon for people to become infected with the virus after being vaccinated.
