Mexico president tests positive for coronavirus for 3rd time

Mexico’s president suspended a tour of the Yucatan peninsula Sunday after acknowledging he tested positive for the coronavirus, having previously suffered two bouts of COVID-19.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wrote in his social media accounts that “it isn’t serious.”
The comment followed reports in the local press that Lopez Obrador felt faint Sunday morning and had to cancel his tour, something his presidential spokesman denied.
Lopez Obrador, 69, who has acknowledged a history of heart problems, wrote that he would isolate for “a few days” in Mexico City.
“My heart is 100 percent and as I have had to suspend the tour, I will be in Mexico City and celebrating, although from afar, the 16th birthday of (his son) Jesus Ernesto,” he wrote.
