Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly been tested positive for the COVID-19 on Monday, but felt fine.
Zelensky said on Facebook: “Despite all quarantine measures, I also had a positive test.”
He said that his temperature was 37.5C but that he felt good. But will self-isolate and continue to perform his duties.
“Most people overcome Covid-19. And I will get through this too,” he said.
The head of Zelensky’s office Andriy Yermak also said that he had contracted the coronavirus.
Officials have repeatedly criticised the general public for ignoring social distancing rules and other anti-virus restrictions, threatening to reintroduce a lockdown that was lifted in June.
In a bid to halt the spread of the virus, the country is considering whether to introduce a partial lockdown on weekends, with only essential businesses such as grocery stores allowed to remain open.
