Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been hospitalized for COVID-19 after testing positive for coronavirus earlier this week, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
Zelenskiy announced Monday that he had become infected with the virus, saying he felt good and promising to self-isolate while continuing to work.
On Monday, Zelenskiy said he was running a temperature of 37.5 Celsius (99.5 Fahrenheit).
A spokeswoman told The Associated Press that the Ukraine president’s symptoms were “nothing serious” but that he was being moved to a hospital in Kyiv because “there are better conditions for self-isolation and care for coronavirus patients.”
The Ukrainian president’s chief of staff, defense minister and finance minister have also tested positive for the virus, the AP reports.
