Former provincial minister Sharjeel Memon has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, which has affected more than 100,000 people across the country.

In a tweet on Monday, Sharjeel Memon wrote that he had sent his samples to two labs. A result he received on Saturday was positive but one he received on Sunday, from the Aga Khan University Hospital, was negative.

According to Memon, he will get tested again in a few days. He also thanked people for their prayers and messages.

Notably, former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi tested positive for coronavirus.

PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb revealed that former prime minister has tested positive for COVID-19 and quarantined himself at his residence.

Abbasi becomes the lastest high-profile individual who has contracted the coronavirus. Earlier, former Sindh minister Sharjeel Memon said he has tested positive for coronavirus and has gone into self-isolation.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Pakistan now has passed 100,000 mark and currently stands at 103,671 after the detection of 4,728 new infections in the last 24 hours.
