Renowned Egyptian director and former MP Khaled Youssef announced Sunday on Facebook that he tested positive for the Coronavirus.
However, Youssef noted that he does not feel any symptoms of the deadly virus.
He also asked fans to pray for his brother who also has the virus but is in a critical condition.
On Thursday, multiple reports circulated that the director was set to return to Egypt, after many years outside his homeland.
He left Egypt a long while ago and traveled abroad with his wife actress Shalimar Sharbatly.
