       SINGER Datuk Aishah, (pic) 57, who has been infected with Covid-19 for the second time, is asking for the public to pray for her speedy recovery as well as anyone else affected by the pandemic, Harian Metro reported.

       The singer, whose full name is Wan Aishah Wan Ariffin, shared her thoughts in a video on social media.

       “Is this virus attracted to me? Because it keeps following me around. Don’t pray for me alone, but also others going through these hard times,” she said.

       Aishah said her eldest son, Armand Azhari, 29, also underwent quarantine for being a close contact twice.

       Based on several videos she shared, it is believed that Aishah underwent quarantine at home with her condition showing some improvement.

       She was admitted to Hospital Ampang last year when her oxygen level dropped sharply after contracting Covid-19.
