Colombia’s defense minister is receiving “critical care” almost a week after testing positive for the coronavirus, the President’s Office said Monday.
Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo, 69, tested positive on Tuesday last week, a say after Colombia’s 72-year-old Foreign Minister Claudia Blum.
Trujillo was taken to hospital where doctors found the coronavirus caused an acute viral pneumonia, the office of President Ivan Duque said.
According to weekly Semana, the 69-year-old minister was being treated for high blood pressure before being infected.
Until the minister improves, Armed Forces commander General Luis Fernando Navarro will assume the minister’s responsibilities, according to the President’s office.
