Moldovan Interior Minister Pavel Voicu has tested positive for the new coronavirus infection.

"In order to preempt the publication of inaccurate reports on the media, I would like to confirm the fact that, after testing for new coronavirus infection, I have been diagnosed with a light form of COVID-19. I didn't need hospitalization, I am currently in self-isolation at home, and my health condition is fair," Voicu said on Facebook on Saturday.
