New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday wished a speedy recovery to his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan, who tested positive for Covid-19 earlier in the day. According to Pakistan Health Minister Dr. Faisal Sultan, currently, the former cricketer-turned-politician has quarantined himself at home.

“Best wishes to Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI for a speedy recovery from COVID-19,” PM Modi wrote on micro-blogging platform Twitter.

The Pakistan Prime Minister, who tested positive for coronavirus two days after taking the first shot of a Chinese coronavirus vaccine, is reportedly in stable condition and has isolated himself at his home.

"PM Imran Khan has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating at home,' Sultan had tweeted earlier in the day.

Earlier this week, khan, 67, received the first shot of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine against Covid-19 as part of the nationwide anti-coronavirus vaccination campaign which is underway in its first phase.

The vaccination drive in Pakistan, which received earlier this week half a million doses of coronavirus vaccines donated by China, is currently underway for senior citizens.

Pakistan has so far registered over six lakh positive Covid-19 cases with over 13,000 deaths.
