The Chairman of Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Shehryar Afridi on Saturday tested positive for Covid-19.
"I have tested positive of Covid-19 and have isolated myself at home as per advice by medics," he wrote.
"I need prayers and blessings. May Allah almighty help save all my countrymen from the pandemic under my PM," he tweeted. His announcement comes weeks after Sindh Governor Imran Ismail and National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser had tested positive for Covid-19. Both officials have since recovered from the coronavirus.
Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani, who himself went into isolation after being infected with the virus in March and subsequently recovered, tweeted a "get well soon" message to Afridi. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis Zulfi Bukhari also wished his colleague well on Twitter, saying that "You're strong and will recover in no time InshaAllah."
