The latest celebrity to test positive for coronavirus is singer Ali Azmat.

The singer announced the unfortunate news in a rather unusual manner on social media, using humour in his native language Punjabi and asking the virus to go away.

"Lo jee result positive aa gaya. Dafa duur corona [Here you go, just tested positive. Get lost Corona]," he posted. He then urged fans to stay home and safe during the deadly pandemic.

Previously, stars from Pakistan’s entertainment industry such as Mahira Khan, Ali Rehman Khan and Sanam Jung alongside her daughter all tested positive for the virus.

Wishing Azmat a speedy recovery.
