Guinea-Bissau's prime minister, Nuno Gomes Nabiam, says he has been infected with coronavirus, as three other ministers in the fragile West African state also tested positive.
“I have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, I am at home and I feel well,” Nabiam said in a Facebook post.
Adding that the virus “exists and spreads easily”, the prime minister urged citizens to stay home and “take every measure to save your life and those of your family”.
The former Portuguese colony of some 1.8 million people has registered 73 coronavirus cases to date, with one fatality.
