An assistant commissioner of Sindh's Matiari district has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to lab reports.

Saeedabad AC Ammar Hussain Rizvi was among the officials who had performed duties during the visit of Sindh Governor Imran Ismail, who tested positive for the virus earlier this week, to Matiari on April 22.

Rizvi, who is originally a resident of Hyderabad, has been quarantined in a facility located in his own office, an administration official said.

Unconfirmed reports said he had come into contact with some pilgrims as well aside from being a part of the governor’s visit.
