FEDERAL CAPITAL – This Saturday morning, President Alberto Fernández announced on his Twitter account that -after experiencing a fever for much of the day- he had performed a rapid coronavirus test and had tested “positive.”
The president had received the two doses of the Sputnik V vaccine a few months ago, the first dose in January and the second in February. Knowing this news, the laboratory responsible for the manufacture of that vaccine had “regretted” that this happened “and wished Fernández a” speedy recovery. “
Alberto Fernández is one of the 18 presidents or prime ministers who contracted covid-19 since the start of the pandemic. However, it is the only one became infected after receiving two doses of the virus vaccine.
The list was started by the British Boris Johnson who was infected on March 27, 2020, and – although his health was complex and he had to be admitted to intensive care – shortly afterwards he recovered. England, which until now had been more permissive in terms of controls and restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease, adopted more rigid measures.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin tested positive on April 30 of that same year. Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández did so on June 1.
On July 7, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro – who had considered covid-19 to be a “flu” – was also infected. Two days later, so did the first president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez.
On the 28th of that same month Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, and in September Alejandro Giammattei, head of state of Guatemala, fell ill.
On October 2, the then President of the United States Donald Trump confirmed that he was positive for covid-19, and on the 24 of that same more the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, was infected. The next day, the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Boyko Borissov, confirmed that he had contracted this disease.
In November, the Algerian president Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the president of Eswatini, Ambrose Dlamini, and the French Emmanuel Macron confirmed their contagion.
President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was the first to join this roster in 2021, followed by the first president of Armenia, Armen Sarkissian, and the Mexican Andrés Manuel López Obrador, all in January.
