Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong tests positive of COVID-19 for a second time in 10 days in a rare case of a rebound; to miss bilateral meeting with Australia PM Anthony Albanese on Friday
Due to his health condition, Lee will also have to skip a bilateral meeting on Friday with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who is due to give a keynote address at the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum in Singapore.
Lee, 71, was diagnosed with COVID-19 for the first time on May 22, following work trips to Africa and Asia. He tested negative six days later. But in a Facebook post on Thursday, Lee shared a photo of a positive antigen rapid test that he took. Lee said he has been advised to self-isolate as the virus is still infectious, although the risk is lower compared to the initial infection. He said he had looked forward to attending the consecration ceremony of an Indian temple early on Thursday but has to"miss it to keep others around me safe.”
Lee was on an official visit to South Africa from May 14 to 16, and Kenya from May 17 to 19. He also attended the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Indonesia from May 10 to 11.
