Ex-president Zardari tests positive for Covid-19

KARACHI, July 28 (SABAH): Former President Asif Ali Zardari has tested positive for coronavirus and is experiencing mild symptoms of the disease.

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, in a tweet, said that his father, who is fully vaccinated and has also received booster dose, is isolating with symptoms and receiving treatment.

Earlier this week, Zardari had travelled to Dubai to celebrate his 67th birthday with his nine-month-old grandson. The PPP co-chairman was born on July 26, 1955.

Meanwhile, the former president’s daughter, Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, said that his PCR test had been positive when he had landed in Dubai.

She reiterated that Zardari’s symptoms were mild, adding that he was resting and was on day four of his isolation. She added that he would return once he had recovered.

“Thank you for your prayers and remind everyone to remain precautious,” she said.
