German Chancellor Angela Merkel has gone into quarantine after being informed that a doctor who administered a vaccine to her has tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus.
Ms Merkel's spokesman said the German chancellor was informed about the doctor's test shortly after holding a news conference Sunday announcing new measures to curb the spread of the virus.
Her spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said Ms Merkel had received a precautionary vaccine Friday against pneumococcal infection.
Mr Seibert said in a statement that Ms Merkel, 65, would undergo "regular tests" in the coming days and continue with her work from home for the time being.
