And the Prime Minister’s office said in statements to the Swedish news agency “TT”, that tests had confirmed that Anderson had “Covid 19”.
Magdalena Andersson, the leader of Sweden’s largest Social Democratic Party, took part in a parliamentary debate with other party leaders on Wednesday, and at least two senior politicians have tested positive since then.
The prime minister’s office said Anderson is following “current recommendations and will be doing her work from home,” adding that she is fine, the Associated Press reported.
Following the debate in Sweden’s 349-seat Riksdag, Center Party leader Annie Loew and Green Party leader Per Poland also tested positive.
It is noteworthy that Boland had coughed when he spoke to the media after that.
And Poland wrote on his Twitter account, Thursday, that a quick test showed him the result, and he was immediately subjected to isolation, as recommended by the Swedish Public Health Authority.
The Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, STV, said that other party leaders who participated in the debate had tested negative.
It is noteworthy that Andersen, a former finance minister, became the first woman to hold the prime ministership of Sweden last November.
