Wife of Spain’s Prime Minister Tests Positive For Covid-19

The wife of Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has tested positive for Covid-19. This has been confirmed by the Prime Minister’s office, just hours after he announced the closure of the entire country.

In a statement issued by the government, as reported by Reuters, Begona Gomez and her husband are now being quarantined at their official residence, following the new preventive measures introduced by the local health authorities.

Spain has earlier announced that the country is now closed and the citizens are ordered to stay at home for the next two weeks in order to control the spread of the virus. The citizens are only allowed to go out if they need to buy food and medicine, go to work or the hospital.

As the second wave of Covid-19 has begun, we need to remind ourselves not to be in any situation which promotes the spread of the virus. If there is nothing important for us to do outside, please stay at home and most importantly, wash your hands!
