Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Sunday he has tested positive for COVID-19 and that the symptoms are mild.
“I regret to inform you that I am infected with COVID-19," he tweeted. “The symptoms are mild but I am already under medical treatment. As always, I am optimistic. We will all move forward."
López Obrador, 67, has long been criticized for his handling of his country's pandemic and not setting an example of prevention in public. He has rarely been seen wearing a mask and continued to keep up a busy travel schedule taking commercial flights.
