Hong Kong leader Lee tests positive for COVID-19 after APEC
Hong Kong leader John Lee tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings in Thailand, the city government said Monday.
Lee tested negative throughout his four-day stay in Bangkok but his test upon his arrival at Hong Kong's airport on Sunday night was positive, a government statement said.
Lee is now in isolation and will work from home, according to a spokesperson of the Chief Executive's Office.
During his trip, Lee met various leaders including Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. In some close-door sessions, seating arrangements had him next to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
