A civil judge in Hyderabad has tested positive for the coronavirus, while two members of his family have tested negative.

Speaking to Dawn, Kohsar Hospital MS Dr Suresh said the judge came in to get tested after he was complained of having lost his sense of smell.

"I advised him to get tested. He also had himself examined from by an ear, nose and throat expert as well", he said. He had two tests done — one from a public sector lab and one from a private lab — and both tests came back positive, he added.
