Lydia Abela tests positive for COVID-19, Prime Minister in quarantine

Lydia Abela has tested positive for COVID-19 following what appears to be a mandatory test ahead of official duties in the coming days.

It was Prime Minister Robert Abela who in a Facebook post on Wednesday night, divulged the news of his wife’s coronavirus test result. The Prime Minister and the couple’s daughter have tested negative.

“Lydia is fine and she had no symptoms. My test results and those of Giorgia Mae came out negative. Naturally, this means that we have started observing a period of quarantine,” the Prime Minister said.

Abela said that he will continue working from home during this period.

“With the benefit of technology, I will continue with my duties, including important meetings that I have in the coming days,” he said.
