Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Justice Athar Minallah will be tested for the coronavirus after his secretary contracted the infectious disease.

According to the IHC officials, the IHC Chief Justice's secretary Asad Khokhar was on sick leave for some days.

However, as his fever intensified, he was tested for Covid-19 first on May 4th and then again on May 6. The results came back positive on Thursday. Khokhar has been advised to go into self-isolation, while according to court sources, his office has been sealed. Subsequently, the authorities decided to screen Chief Justice Minallah as well as all the employees of the high court for the virus. A team of doctors reached the IHC's dispensary with 25 testing kits.

The employees of the high court are being tested in batches. The IHC was recently closed after news of an employee testing positive emerged. The court had also issued a circular in which it stated that the court premises, rooms and chambers had been disinfected.
