Greece’s Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said Wednesday he is in quarantine because he came into contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus.
“After a meeting with a person who was tested positive for COVID19, I will be quarantined from today,” he said on Twitter.
Dendias was set Wednesday to meet Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry but the meeting was canceled as a precaution.
Shoukry and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi arrived Wednesday in Athens to discuss bilateral relations and tension in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Libyan crisis.
