According to the details, the victim was 90-years-old and was a resident of Chillas. The deceased was admitted in CMH Hospital, Gilgit for the past four days and had coronavirus symptoms. The G-B government spokesman said the victim was suffering from pneumonia and fever.

I can confirm that until now there is no corona related death in 🇵🇰. Geo report about a death in GB is incorrect. The corona virus test of the patient is -ve. I request media reporters that in rush to break the news first, please don’t misreport. Check your facts twice <261>
