KUALA LUMPUR – Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Idris Sultan Ibrahim is believed to have been infected with Covid-19 following uploads he made on social media today.

The royal uploaded four posts on his Instagram stories today, with the first at around 2pm showing a selfie of himself lying on a hospital bed with the caption “few days ago”.

Around an hour later, he uploaded another post with the caption “two weeks of Covid”.

This was followed by an explanation that he experienced a few weeks of physical and psychological “down time”, and thanked his followers for their well wishes.
