The fourth wave of Covid-19 is intensifying in the country as Pakistan reported 4,119 coronavirus infections during the last 24 hours — the first time the daily caseload went above 4,000 since May 21.

The more transmissible Delta variant is believed to be responsible for the country’s fourth wave.

The variant, scientists say, has features that allow it to evade some of the body’s immune system defenses. Plus, it has the highest transmissibility of any variant so far.

A number of politicians and government officials have been infected by Covid-19 since the pandemic first emerged in the country in February 2020, including President Dr Arif Alvi, Prime Minister Imran Khan and PPP Chairperson Bilawal Zardari, and have since recovered. Last week, Supreme Court’s Justice Qazi Faez Isa and his wife Sarina Isa tested positive for the coronavirus.
