MEXICO CITY, (Reuters) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has tested positive for COVID-19, he said yesterday, adding that his symptoms were light and that he was receiving medical treatment.
Mexico is in the grip of a second wave of the pandemic, with the country’s official death toll from COVID-19 set to pass a grim milestone of 150,000 in coming days. “As always, I am optimistic,” Lopez Obrador, 67, said in a tweet.
