Cypriot president tests positive for Covid-19

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has tested positive for Covid-19, authorities said on Tuesday.

Anastasiades, 75, has mild symptoms and his general health is good, government spokesman Marios Pelekanos said. Cyprus recently reinstated compulsory mask wearing indoors, little over a month after scrapping it, to deal with a spike in Covid-19 infections. [Reuters]
