I have received a positive result for COVID-19. I have both doses of the vaccine, I feel well and have only mild symptoms. I will be following the measures established by the Ministry of Health. Let’s take care of ourselves and get vaccinated.

As of now it is still unknown if any other member of the cabinet has tested positive or if any member should be isolated as a precaution.
