Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has tested positive for Covid-19, days after returning from official visits to South Africa and Kenya.
“I am generally feeling ok but my doctors have advised me to self-isolate until I am asymptomatic,” Lee said Monday in a Facebook post. “They have also prescribed me Paxlovid, an antiviral medication, because of my age.”
Lee is 71-years-old and has been serving as prime minister of the Southeast Asian city-state since 2004. He was in South Africa and Kenya May 14-19, according to Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
