The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has spread all over the world. People in almost all countries on the planet have been advised to stay at home and practice social distancing. As the number of infected individuals keeps rising, so does the death toll. As of now, the virus has infected 1.9 million people and claimed 118,000 lives.

The deadly virus does not differentiate on the basis of race, religion, on nationality.

And it does not differentiate on the basis of political status either. World leaders and/or their family members have tested positive for the virus all over the world.

Let’s see who they are.
