Honduran President Xiomara Castro has tested positive for COVID-19, she said on Sunday, adding that she has mild symptoms and will be working in isolation.
The 62-year-old, who put the left back in power 12 years after her husband was ousted in a coup, was sworn into office in late January.
Castro said on Twitter that an earlier test had been negative.
