Japan’s Fumio Kishida has been infected with coronavirus and is recuperating at his official residence, his office said on Sunday.
Kishida, just returned from week-long vacation, was due to restart work on Monday.
He developed a cough and fever on Saturday, and took a PCR test on Sunday morning, which confirmed the positive result in the afternoon, a Cabinet spokesperson said.
Japan has endured a record resurgence in coronavirus infections, hitting businesses in the world’s third-biggest economy, although deaths remain relatively low and the disruptions have been milder than in some other advanced economies.
