Coronavirus: Health Minister tests positive for Covid-19

Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas said on Friday that he has tested positive for Covid-19 and has mild symptoms.

“We should not be complacent,” the minister tweeted as he announced his positive result following two tests. He did not specify whether the tests concerned rapid antigen or PCR tests.

He added he has mild symptoms, attributing this to the fact he is vaccinated.

Taking this opportunity to reiterate the importance of anti-coronavirus vaccination, he said the jab and personal protection measures shield us against the virus.

Tο πρωί, μετά από τον ημερήσιο διπλό έλεγχο διαγνώστηκα θετικός στον #COVID19. Τα συμπτώματα είναι ήπια και αυτό οφείλεται στον εμβολιασμό μου. Δεν πρέπει να εφησυχαζόμαστε. Ο εμβολιασμός και τα μέτρα ατομικής προστασίας είναι η ασπίδα μας, έναντι στον ιό.#covidvaccination
