Meera tests negative for coronavirus after return from hard-hit New York

Pakistani actor Meera has been tested negative for coronavirus Wednesday after she came back from the US.

The Baaji actor had landed in Lahore from Washington D.C earlier on Tuesday and was quarantined in a local hotel in the city where her COVID-19 test was conducted, which has now come out negative.

The actor had been stranded in New York City - the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak in US - and had made a plea to the government for her return to Pakistan.

In a video posted earlier from her NYC hotel room, Meera had addressed Prime Minister Imran Khan saying: “Mr. Prime Minister, it’s 2 am here in New York and I am trapped in this hotel room addressing you right now.”

“I arrived here with Humayun Saeed and other actors for the shooting of a film, but they’ve all left and I’m stuck still here,” she added.

After landing in Lahore, Meera was filled with gratitude towards the government as she posted another video, saying: “Thanks to Allah, I am back in Pakistan. A big shout out to Pakistan Embassy Washington and New York Consulate. You guys are amazing. You work so hard to help our fellow Pakistanis overseas. Proud of you and praying for you! Stay blessed Pakistan!”
