2020 Tablighi Jamaat COVID-19 hotspot in Pakistan

A Tablighi Jamaat religious congregation that took place at Raiwind Markaz in Lahore, Pakistan, in early March 2020 was a COVID-19 super-spreader event with more than 539 confirmed cases linked to the event being reported across the country. Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry blamed the "stubbornness of the clergy" for the event having gone ahead despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
