Chief Minister Usman Buzdar made a phone call to her and inquired after her. On the instruction of the chief minister, the MPA was shifted to Mayo Hospital and put on ventilator.

The legislator had been inspecting quarantine centres for some time. Some days back, she fell ill and she got treatment from private doctors and was later shifted to the DHQ hospital.
