Taking to Twitter late Wednesday, Zardari's elder daughter disclosed that her father suffers from some health concerns as he has been a COVID-19 patient. She said that water has reappeared in his lungs.

She added that the PPP leader had also undergone a procedure in Karachi to treat the extra water in his lungs.

On September 27, Zardari was admitted to a private hospital in Karachi's Clifton area after his health deteriorated.
