PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif tests positive for COVID-19

PML-N President and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

His test results were confirmed by PML-N Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb and leader Attaullah Tarar.

He was tested twice and his result came positive after his NAB appearance.

He is currently in quarantine at his Model Town home. Shehbaz has cancer and had earlier requested NAB to allow his questioning via video conference. However, the request was denied and he had to appear before the bureau in person.

Aurangzeb said NAB put his life in danger by summoning him.

Several other PML-N leaders have also tested positive for the virus, including Ahsan Iqbal and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
