[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Choi] Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has tested positive for COVID-19. This is the second time Prime Minister Albanese has contracted COVID-19.
On the 5th (local time), Albanese announced on his Twitter account, "I tested positive for COVID-19 in a PCR test this afternoon," adding, "I am currently isolating at home and working remotely."
Although Australia ended mandatory isolation for COVID-19 positive cases in October, Prime Minister Albanese has voluntarily chosen to self-isolate.
This is the second time Albanese has contracted COVID-19. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 last May ahead of the Australian general election, which caused him to withdraw from campaigning.
According to Australian media, Albanese visited South Australia (SA) last weekend and is scheduled to visit Papua New Guinea for two days starting on the 12th.
