Kot je dodal, sam nima simptomov in se počuti dobro.

Today I was informed that a member of my team, who was not on a mission to Ethiopia end of last week, has tested #COVID19 positive. In line with public health protocols I am self-isolating and working from home pending the 2nd test. I have no symptoms and feel well. Stay safe!

Lenarčič je bil minuli teden skupaj z ekipo na obisku v Etiopiji. Na tem obisku je bil tudi visoki predstavnik EU za skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko Josep Borrell Fontelles. Ta pa je včeraj tvitnil, da je bil pozitiven na novi koronavirus tudi eden od članov delegacije, ki je z njima obiskala Etiopijo. Borrell se je že testiral na novi koronavirus in je negativen. Kljub temu se je tudi on preventivno samoizoliral in čaka na drugi test.

I was informed this afternoon that a member of the delegation travelling with me and @JanezLenarcic to Ethiopia last week has tested positive for coronavirus. I tested negative upon my return on Sunday. I am self-isolating in accordance with rules and will wait to do second test.
