Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Sunday he has tested positive for COVID-19.
The leader of Spain's Socialist party and of the country's coalition government said in a Twitter post that he was canceling his appearance at a Socialist event Sunday marking the beginning of the new political season after the summer recess.
Sánchez did not say whether he was feeling ill or whether he would cancel other engagements next week.
"I will keep working, taking all precautions," he said.
Sánchez last week attended the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He returned to Spain for an official event on Friday.
