ON March 25, Federal Minister of Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz shared a photo on his Twitter account that showed the prime minister who had tested positive for Covid-19 (I pray for his complete recovery) a few days before the picture was taken, meeting six men indoors. The minister captioned the photo, “Prime minister with the media team today at Bani gala”.
This photo was a disturbing optic. What kind of a signal does it send? Does it signal that a person who has tested positive for Covid-19 can start socialising? If so, is it not in strong contrast to what the government itself is trying to stop citizens from doing? Does it signal that you don’t need to isolate yourself when you have Covid-19? Or does it signal that you can’t spread the Covid-19 virus even if you’re infected with it? Again, is it all not against medical guidelines?
