Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said that he had received a positive test for COVID-19, and therefore had to self-isolate.
"Friends! The coronavirus crept up at the most inopportune moment. Today I tested positive," Klitschko wrote on his Facebook page.
He said that he tried to be careful, but the work of the mayor during a pandemic involves constant risk, including communication with people and inspection of hospitals.
"In particular, I regularly visited the infectious diseases wards, where patients with COVID-19 are treated. I tried to be careful. Given the specifics of my work, I regularly did tests. Today's, unfortunately, is disappointing. I feel good. But I have to self-isolate and work from home," Klitschko said.
