<p>Though everyone present in the meeting is wearing masks and seated socially distant to each other, the Pakistani PM is receiving a lot of flak since it's been only a few days since he had tested positive for Covid-19, and most leaders who had contracted the deadly virus had&nbsp;held virtual meetings and kept themselves isolated from others.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A Twitter user shared the image of UK PM Boris Johnson to show how he held virtual engagements when he had contracted Covid-19.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Bro that's how intelligent and sensible governments work when their premiere is sick. Protecting themselves and others," the user wrote.&nbsp;</p>
