LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Secretary-General Ahsan Iqbal on Saturday again tested positive for coronavirus, almost a year after he had first contracted the COVID-19.
Taking to Twitter, the PML-N leader said, “I have again tested positive for COVID and have gone into quarantine.” He urged people to pray for him and asked the masses to wear masks and follow COVID-19 SOPs to keep the virus at bay.
مجھے کوویڈ کی دوبارہ تشخیص ہوئی ہے- میں نے قرنطینہ اختیار کر لیا ہے-تمام دوستوں، احباب اور بالخصوص اہلیان نارووال سے درخواست ہے کہ میری جلد صحتیابی کے اپنی دعاؤوں میں مجھے یاد رکھیں!
ماسک پہنیں اور کرونا کے خلاف ایس او پیز پہ عمل کریں!— Ahsan Iqbal (@betterpakistan) July 31, 2021
The PML-N leader had last tested positive for coronavirus back in June 2020. The development comes days after PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb had announced the party’s vice-president Maryam Nawaz had tested positive for coronavirus.
پاکستان مسلم لیگ (ن) کی نائب صدر مریم نواز شریف @MaryamNSharif کا کرونا ٹیسٹ پازیٹو آیا ہے جس کے بعد انھوں نے خود کو کورنٹین کر لیا ہے۔ مریم نواز شریف سمیت تمام مریضوں کی جلد صحت یابی کی دعا کی اپیل ہے۔

Maryam had gone into self-quarantine after testing positive, Aurangzeb had said, as she appealed people to pray for the PML-N leader and other people infected with the virus.
Notable Pakistani politicians, including Prime Minister Imran Khan, PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif, Federal Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Asad Umar, have tested positive and recovered from the virus.
