Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif tests COVID-19 positive
Islamabad: Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Tuesday said Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif has tested COVID-19 positive.
He has just returned to Pakistan after completing his UK trip.
In a tweet, the minister said the premier was feeling unwell for the past two days and took a Covid-19 test today as per the doctor’s advice, reports Dawn News.
This is the third time the PM tested positive for the viral infection.
He had previously contracted Covid-19 earlier this year in January and in June 2020, reports Dawn News.
A source close to the PM told Dawn News that he was not well, as a result of which he spent a ‘slow’ Monday.
The premier had fallen ill in London, which was why he had extended his private visit by two days, he added.
