Bilawal Bhutto Zardari tests positive for coronavirus

Author: Web Desk

Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari announced on Thursday that he had tested positive for Covid-19 and was isolating with mild symptoms.

The news comes just a day before the engagement of Bilawal’s sister, Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, to a Dubai-based businessman and several days before the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) next rally in Multan scheduled for November 30.

His political secretary, Jameel Soomro, had tested positive for the contagious disease earlier this week, prompting him to enter self-isolation as a precaution while he awaited his test results. According to Soomro, he had tested positive after returning from the party’s month-long election campaign in Gilgit-Baltistan.
