Netizens reacted to the picture in a bad way. Rather strongly over the fact that the picture showing infected PM with at least seven others was taken in the midst of a global pandemic.

Senator Faisal Javed also tweeted a picture and then deleted it. He, however, retweeted a party worker, saying that the premier was doing well and SOP’s were taken.

According to the released pictures, it appears that the doors and windows of the room were open. There was at least 10 feet or more distance between participants and the PM.

While answering the third wave of COVID-19, Faisal Javed said public messaging was very important and should have been avoided. Even though all SOPs must have been followed, a picture alone can’t convey all details.

Masha’ALLAH Prime Minister is doing well, fit and fine Alhamdulillah. Working from home, holding meetings following SOPs #PMatWork https://t.co/16Y8DszK7M

Senator Faisal Javed said that it was likely that the premier contracted the virus while holding meetings with parliamentarians ahead of Senate elections. This means that it remained undetected but it has been quite a lot of days since he got infected and is probably healthy now.
