Swedish Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson has tested positive for Covid-19, her spokesperson said, as a growing wave of infections swept the country driven by the more contagious Omicron variant.
Andersson, 54, is one of several party leaders to have tested positive for the virus in the wake of a debate in parliament earlier this week while Sweden's king, queen and crown princess have all been hit with infections this month, according to a Reuters report.
“She (Andersson) is following the current recommendations and will perform her duties from home. The PM is feeling well, given the situation,” the spokesperson said.
