Development and Investments Minister Adonis Georgiadis has tested positive to Covid-19 as he announced on his Twitter account on Tuesday.
According to his tweet, Georgiadis said he developed a fever although he had undergone a rapid test earlier in the day, after his appearance on ANT1 TV and was found to be negative for the coronavirus.
Specifically, the minister posted:
"Although I did a rapid test when I went to ANT1 TV on Monday based on the protocol and I was found negative, suddenly I had a fever last night. I immediately did a pcr test and the results showed I was positive for coronavirus. I am almost 49 years old and the only reason I know I will go through it mildly is the fact that I am fully vaccinated. I call on all citizens at my age, especially those older than me, to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
It is not possible to predict where and how you will get infected and it is a pity. I will be into quarantine, but I am fine and I will continue to work normally via the Internet.
Those I met yesterday are fortunately vaccinated and according to the protocol they are not required to be placed into quarantine, hence my office will operating normally", he said.
