Brussels: Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel has been hospitalized and is being observed “as a precautionary measure” after a positive test for Covid-19 a week before.
Government officials, who talked about customary conditions of anonymity, said there was no update with new information Monday morning after Bettel had been taken for 24 hours of medical testing and analysis on Sundays.
Bettel aged 48 years announced a positive test right after he attended the European Union Summit with 26 other leaders from the block for two days.
At first he only experienced mild symptoms.
But on Sunday, he must be hospitalized.
The UE Summit organizers said they were convinced that all virus prevention steps had been adhered to strictly during a two-day meeting.
So far, no other leader said he was tested positive.
