Mexico City, Apr 23 (EFE).- The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, 69, announced this Sunday that he tested positive for covid-19 and assured that “his heart is 100%.”
“No way, friends and friends: I tested positive for COVID-19. It’s not serious. My heart is 100 and since I had to suspend the tour, I’m in Mexico City,” he shared via Twitter.
In addition, he said that he celebrates the 16th birthday of his son Jesús Ernesto “from afar”.
He also explained that it will be the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, who will lead the morning press conferences in the coming days.
On the morning of this Sunday, at the last moment, the president suspended his tour in Mérida, in the eastern state of Yucatán, where he would go to review the progress of the works of his emblematic project, the Mayan Train.
Earlier it was announced that López Obrador suspended, without informing the reason, his work tour in Mérida, where he was going to meet Governor Mauricio Vila.
January 24, 2021 was the first time that López Obrador was infected with coronavirus. On that occasion, the then Secretary of the Interior, Olga Sánchez Cordero, was in charge of giving the daily conference for 15 days.
The second occasion was on January 10, 2022, when he was only absent for four days and met with his cabinet.
The head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, wished the president a “speedy recovery”.
In the same way, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, wished that his health improve soon and took the opportunity to congratulate Jesús Ernesto. EFE
