In a tweet, the education minister stated that he was feeling mild symptoms at the moment, and that he hoped to recover soon with some rest.
“I have unfortunately tested positive for coronavirus. My symptoms are mild so far and I feel fine. Hopefully with some rest will recover soon,” he wrote.
He urged people to continue to take all precautions, especially wearing a mask at all times. The education minister had earlier tested positive for COVID-19 in May 2021.
