Claim:

A video circulating on social media alleges that Sindh Chief Minister House Murad Ali Shah visited President Asif Ali Zardari at the hospital following his COVID-19 diagnosis, suggesting that the President’s condition is critical.

Reality:

However, a fact-check by the Fake News Watchdog has confirmed that the video is old and misleading. The footage, dated April 12, 2017, shows Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah visiting senior Pakistan Peoples Party – PPP leader Qazi Hafeez ur Rehman at his residence. It has no connection to President Asif Ali Zardari’s current health condition.

President Asif Ali Zardari’s Health Status:

According to official sources, President Asif Ali Zardari tested positive for COVID-19 and was transferred from Nawabshah to Karachi for medical care. He is undergoing treatment under the supervision of expert doctors at a Karachi hospital. Dr. Asim Hussain has stated that the Asif Ali Zardari’s health is improving, his blood tests indicate positive recovery trends.

He further stated that President Asif Ali Zardari is being closely monitored three times a day. He remains in isolation, with infectious disease specialists overseeing his treatment. Doctors are optimistic about his full recovery within a few days. Due to COVID-19 precautions, visits have been restricted, but his family is being regularly updated.

Conclusion:

The viral claims have been debunked as false. Therefore, the public is strongly urged to rely on verified sources for accurate information and to be cautious about spreading unconfirmed reports, as misinformation can create unnecessary panic and confusion.
