Fake News Alert: JPMC Executive Director Dr Seemin Jamali Has Not Contracted Coronavirus

ARY News on Saturday reported that Executive Director of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi Seemin Jamali has been admitted to a private hospital after contracting coronavirus. Social media users responded to the reports by questioning as to why she chose a private hospital for her treatment when she could have chosen her own public hospital. They said that her choice reveals that she does not trust the services of a hospital that she herself manages.

However, Dr Jamali has clarified that the news of her being infected with the virus is false. “This is totally fake news, I am fine Alhamdulillah”, she said in a tweet.
