Pakistani TV actress Yashma Gill on Saturday said she should isolate herself after testing positive for coronavirus
Taking to Twitter, she wrote, “3 days ago I felt feverish and mild symptoms associated with #COVID-19 – so I self-isolated & got myself test immediately. Last evening the report came positive, but very far I am doing fine (Alhamdulillah) except the initial symptoms.”
In another tweet, she said, “Initial thought was [I] won’t tell anyone – but then I realized we can’t create a stigma around that disease, and we need to fight it. Keep me in your prayers … because I am scared! [sic]”
The coronavirus pandemic has killed up to five thousand people in Pakistan and infected more than 245,000 others.
