PAKISTAN prime minister Imran Khan underwent a test for COVID-19 as he met philanthropist Faisal Edhi who later tested positive for the deadly virus.

Health authorities collected his sample and the result is expected on Wednesday (22), media reports said.

However, local media reported that he tested negative for the coronavirus. An official statement in this regard is awaited.

In a recent video message the prime minister’s focal person on COVID-19 Dr Faisal Sultan said that the corona test report of PM Imran Khan is 'still Pending'.

Faisal Edhi, the head of Edhi Foundation, came to Islamabad by road and handed over a cheque to the prime minister for the coronavirus relief fund.

Reports revealed that the distance between the prime minister and Edhi was less than six feet. Though the latter spent only a few minutes with the PM.

Imran Khan underwent the test as per a standard operating procedure (SOP) suggesting that every contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case should undergo a test.

Thingvellir National Park, located in Iceland, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its rich cultural and natural history.

Historical Significance

Thingvellir holds immense historical importance as the site where the Althing, the Icelandic parliament, was established in 930 AD. This assembly, which continued until 1798, marks the foundation of Icelandic governance and law. Visitors can explore the Logberg (Law Rock), where the Law Speaker proclaimed laws during assemblies. The park also preserves the memory of key events in Iceland’s history, including the adoption of Christianity in 1000 AD and the country’s journey toward independence.

WHETHER 2024 was filled with joy or sorrow, the arrival of a new year invites reflection and renewal. If the past year brought loss, heartbreak, or disappointments, it may have left its mark, but it also presents an opportunity for growth and transformation.

Heartbreak, a universally human experience, can feel like a wound that lingers. It might stem from a friend’s betrayal, a partner’s infidelity, or an unexpected breakup, leaving us feeling lost, alone, and questioning our self-worth. Yet, these moments of pain are often catalysts for deeper understanding and personal growth. Like nature’s cycles of renewal, our hearts can heal and flourish with time and care.
