KYIV – On November 9, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed the public that he had tested positive for COVID-19. “Despite all the quarantine measures, I also received a + result. I have 37.5. I wish everyone 36.6!” Mr. Zelenskyy wrote on his Facebook page. (The reference was to his body temperature.) He added that he was feeling well and would continue to work in isolation.
“I was even a little surprised how I escaped the infection when my family fell ill [in June]. Unfortunately, we have to accept this axiom: everyone is at risk until there is a reliable vaccine. The only thing we can do is try to break the chains of infection and thus significantly reduce the load on the hospitals,” the president added.
