ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan may be tested for the COVID-19 or asked to go into isolation after meeting Faisal Edhi who tested positive for the infection, PM’s doctor said on Tuesday.
Faisal, the son of late Abdul Sattar Edhi, met PM Imran last week.
Faisal Sultan, premier’s personal physician, and CEO of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital told media that he would meet PM on Tuesday.
“I will meet him and recommend that he gets tested. We will follow all protocols in place and make recommendations accordingly,” he said.
The protocols recommend self-isolation for people who meet those tested positive for the coronavirus.
Earlier, Saad, the son of Faisal Edhi told the Dawn newspaper that his father started showing symptoms last week, soon after meeting Mr. Khan in Islamabad on April 15.
“The symptoms lasted for four days before subsiding,” Saad said.
He added that his father was currently in Islamabad and was doing better. “He has not been admitted to any hospital and is self-isolating,” he said.
