Bilawal tests negative for Covid, will attend Lahore rally

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will participate and address the opposition rally in Lahore after he tested negative for the coronavirus, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.

Bilawal had tested positive for the virus just four days after the PDM public meeting in Peshawar. He had shared the news in a tweet.

I have tested positive for #COVIDー19 & am self isolating with mild symptoms. I‘ll continue working from home & will be addressing PPP foundation day via video link. Wear a mask everyone, see you on the other side IA 🙏

Earlier, he decided to self-isolate himself after it was confirmed that the virus was found in his political adviser Jamil Ahmed Soomro.

It was this infection which made the PPP chairman miss the rally in Multan and ensured that his younger sister Aseefa Bhutto Zardari would represent him.

The December 30 gathering was of even more significance as it coincided with the PPP foundation day.

Although it was planned that Bilawal would address the crowd via video link, it did not happen amid the circumstances in which the rally was held on the road after the government crackdown.

But the results of this infection were not limited to just political activities as Bilawal could not participate in the engagement ceremony of her sister Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari held on November 27 in Karachi.
