Pakistan on March 29 reported 41 additional deaths and more than 4,500 new cases in the past 24 hours. Pakistan has reported more than 659,000 cases in total, including 14,256 deaths, since last year.
Last month, Islamabad kickstarted the vaccination of health workers, but the campaign received a lukewarm response as some Pakistanis are skeptical about the vaccine donated by China.
