ntry's highest known daily number of new cases since the pandemic began.

On Friday , Pakistan recorded 7,678 new cases, its largest known tally since the Covid-19 pandemic began.About 78 million people, about 36 per cent of the population, have received two vaccine doses, according to government data. The requirements for mosques also include mandatory masks and social distancing of about 1.8m during prayer.
