Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has tested positive for Covid-19, Reuters quotes the foreign ministry's spokesman as saying.

“His general condition is good and he continues working from quarantine,” Saeed Khatibzadeh told state media late on Monday, adding that the minister's agenda of visits had changed.

Earlier on Monday, the foreign ministry reported that Amirabdollahian was going to India by the end of November to attend a meeting at the Indo-Iranian Joint Economic Commission.
