TOKYO – Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has been infected with COVID-19 and is recuperating at his official residence, his office said on Sunday.
Kishida, who just returned from a week-long vacation, was due to return to work on Monday with an overseas trip scheduled for later in the week. He developed a cough and fever on Saturday and took a PCR test on Sunday morning, which confirmed the positive result in the afternoon, a Cabinet Office spokesperson said.
Japan has endured a record resurgence in coronavirus infections through July and August, hitting businesses in the world’s third-biggest economy, although deaths remain relatively low and the disruptions have been milder than in some other advanced economies.
