The special assistant to the prime minister on National Health Services, Faisal Sultan, said that Khan is self-isolating at home.
The diagnosis was later confirmed by the Prime Minister’s Office.
The news comes just two days after Khan publicly received a vaccine developed by the Chinese firm Sinopharm.
A senator from Imran Khan’s ruling party, Faisal Javed Khan, said that the PM will continue to work from home via video link.
Pakistani news website Dawn reported that the PM had a busy schedule on Friday, visiting a university in the country’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and addressing a group of students.
Khan’s assistant on political communication, Shahbaz Gill, said that the symptoms are not severe, and that the PM has “a very mild cough and mild fever.” He urged the public not to link the infection with the vaccine, noting that immunity develops a couple of weeks after a person has been inoculated.
