Former Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra, who this month was barred from holding public office for allegedly jumping the queue to receive a coronavirus vaccine last year, has said he and his wife have tested positive for COVID-19.
Vizcarra tweeted on Sunday that the pair tested positive “despite the necessary care to avoid bringing the virus home” and are symptomatic.
“My family is taking the necessary isolation measures. Let’s not let our guard down,” he said.
Vizcarra has faced criticism for not wearing a mask or following physical distancing rules during his election campaign ahead of April 11 polls to choose Peru’s next Congress and president.
