Colombian first lady Maria Juliana Ruiz has tested positive for coronavirus, the government said on Tuesday, but is asymptomatic.
President Ivan Duque and the first lady have regular coronavirus tests due to their high levels of exposure and busy schedules, the president’s office said in a statement.
Ruiz, who along with her husband was tested on Monday, is following quarantine rules as established by the health ministry, the statement added. Duque received a negative result.
Vice President Marta Lucia Ramirez tested positive for coronavirus a month ago and was also asymptomatic.
The Andean country has reported more than 1.2 million cases of coronavirus, as well as 35,479 deaths due to COVID-19, the disease it causes.
