PRAGUE, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtech said Sunday he has tested positive for COVID-19.
In a tweet, the minister said he was not feeling well "from Friday to Saturday," and went for a PCR test on Saturday.
The test result was positive, he said, adding he would start a 14-day isolation.
"Thanks to the vaccination, I have a mild course and will work from home," Vojtech tweeted.
