Luxembourg PM Bettel tests positive for coronavirus again
By Trend
During a rapid self-test, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. A positive PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test later confirmed the result, Trend reports citing Xinhua.
Bettel immediately began self-isolating, according to the report.
Bettel, 49, has only mild symptoms and will continue to carry out his duties through telework.
In June 2021, Bettel already tested positive for coronavirus only a few weeks before he received his second COVID-19 vaccine dose.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, 14 of the 16 ministers of the government of Luxembourg have already contracted COVID-19, the local newspaper Le Quotidien said.
