Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has been infected with COVID-19 and is recuperating at his official residence, his office said on Sunday.
Kishida, who just returned from a week-long vacation, was due to return to work on Monday with an overseas trip scheduled for later in the week.
He developed a cough and fever on Saturday and took a PCR test on Sunday morning, which confirmed the positive result in the afternoon, a Cabinet Office spokesperson said.
