Josep Borrell tests positive for coronavirus

The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy has tested positive for coronavirus and is under quarantine, he confirmed this afternoon, June 6

“I have tested positive for COVID-19,” the Spanish diplomat posted on his account on the social network Twitter

Borrell has indicated that he will keep quarantine “in accordance with the relevant rules and procedures.” “I feel fine,” he has indicated.

In October 2020 Josep Borrell had been in quarantine for having close contact with a person who tested positive for the virus.

Symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) in adults can include:

• a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
• shortness of breath
• feeling tired or exhausted
• an aching body
• a headache
• a sore throat
• a blocked or runny nose
• loss of appetite
• diarrhoea
• feeling sick or being sick

The symptoms are very similar to symptoms of other illnesses, such as colds and flu. If you do show any symptoms, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.
