Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned that the fourth wave of Covid-19 is looming over the country. “We fear the Indian variant could strike Pakistan and as a precautionary measure, we need to adhere to the SOPs," the prime minister said in a video message addressed to the nation.

He also advised the people to get vaccinated. “Unfortunately, we do not produce vaccines, so we may get a bit late in vaccinating our entire population against the coronavirus,” the PM added.
