Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has tested positive for COVID-19, according to his doctor, Asim Hussain. The 70-year-old leader has been advised to remain in isolation as a precautionary measure, while his condition is reported to be improving.

A statement from the president's office confirmed the diagnosis and emphasized that Zardari is receiving appropriate medical care. This marks the second time the president has contracted the virus; he previously tested positive in 2022, when he experienced only mild symptoms.

Serving his second term, following his earlier tenure from 2008 to 2013, Zardari's diagnosis comes amid ongoing global efforts to manage COVID-19 and protect vulnerable populations. Further updates on his health and any implications for his presidential duties are expected in the coming days.
