Portugal’s Finance Minister Joao Leao has tested positive for the coronavirus, his office said, a day after he took part in an in-person meeting in Lisbon with top EU officials including Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen.

The 46-year-old minister has so far shown no symptoms and will continue to work from home during a period of self-isolation, a statement from his ministry said. Self-isolation could last between 10 to 14 days.

According to Reuters, Leao’s positive test result was announced more than 24 hours after he attended the meeting at the Belem Cultural Centre on Friday to discuss Portugal’s top priorities during its six-month EU presidency, which started this month.
