An individual has been shifted to an isolation room within the team hotel after his Covid-19 test returned positive.

He had returned home after the second round of the first-class Quaid-e-Azam Trophy on November 3. As per the PCB Covid-19 Protocols, he should have traveled to Karachi only after receiving a negative result from the home test. However, upon arrival in Karachi, the PCB Medical and Sports Sciences received the positive result, following which he was quarantined immediately.

The individual will now stay in isolation until he returns two negative tests.
