Salman Ahmad, the guitarist who founded the multi-million-selling Sufi rock band Junoon, tested positive for the novel coronavirus on Saturday.

The Junoon guitarist is currently in self-imposed quarantine with his family in New York, the epicentre of the virus in the United States.

Earlier in this tweet, Salman wrote: "Friends, the bad news first: according to my doc Ibelli, I’m probably #COVID19 positive, will test soon. The good news is that I have mild flu-like symptoms. I’m self-quarantining in NY, washing my hands regularly, inhaling steam, drinking warm fluids. Thank you for your prayers."

The worldwide number of officially confirmed fatalities from the novel coronavirus rose above 59,000 on Saturday, according to a tally compiled by AFP from sources.
