BUENOS AIRES — Argentine President Alberto Fernandez has tested positive for the new coronavirus, and is in good spirits despite having a light fever, the first-term Peronist leader tweeted on Saturday.
“I am in good physical condition,” the president, who turned 62 on Friday, said in a tweet. He had received Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus early this year.
Fernandez said he is waiting for the result to be confirmed.
