TEHRAN —Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said late on Monday that Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has tested positive for COVID-19.

Upon advice by physicians the minister is quarantined at his house and is performing his day-to-day tasks at home, as his general health is currently fine, Khatibzadeh said. 

However, some of the visits that were on the minister’s agenda will change, the spokesman added.
