German Chancellor Angela Merkel Goes Into Self-Quarantine After Her Physician Tests Positive For Covid-19 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has gone into self-quarantine after it was brought to her knowledge that a doctor who had administered a vaccine to her has contracted the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), reports Economic Times.

The development also gains significance as older adults and people with extant health issues who have gone on to contract COVID-19 have witnessed more severe illness compared to most other people who have exhibited mild and moderate symptoms in general. Merkel is 65-years-old.

In the days to come, Chancellor Merkel will now be subjected to regular tests while she will continue to work from her home.
