There is insufficient publicly available evidence at the current time to verify this claim accurately.Speaking from an undisclosed location over the phone, Anees Ibrahim told IANS that his brother Dawood Ibrahim and his entire family had not been affected by the coronavirus, and they are putting up at their home. The intelligence reports had earlier said that Dawood and his wife were tested positive for coronavirus and had admitted to the Army Hospital in Karachi. Also, his staff and guards were in quarantine.

Though IANS authenticates its telephonic conversation with Anees, the news agency has no independent sources in Karachi to deny or confirm Dawood and his wife's admission to a Pakistan Army hospital due to coronavirus.
