FRANKFURT – European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde tested positive for COVID-19, she said in a tweet Thursday.
“This morning I tested positive for COVID-19. I am vaccinated and boosted, and my symptoms are thankfully reasonably mild. I will work from home in Frankfurt until I am fully recovered,” the tweet reads. “There is no impact on the ECB’s operations.”
The ECB has its regular Governing Council meeting, followed by the president's press conference, next Thursday.
The press conference is scheduled to go ahead as planned, while the format will be decided in coming days, an ECB spokesperson said.
