Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska has tested positive for COVID-19, she announced on her Instagram account on June 12.

“I feel good, but I am in outpatient treatment, isolated from other family members to not endanger them,” she wrote.

Her husband, President Volodymyr Zelensky, and their two children have also been tested, but their results were negative.

Zelenska said it is unclear how she contracted COVID-19, as she tested negative in the beginning of June. But an investigation is underway, according to Ukrainian media outlet Novoe Vremya.

The first lady said she has followed all the quarantine rules of the Ministry of Health, including wearing a mask and gloves and minimizing contacts.

Zelenska also wrote that the country’s easing of quarantine restrictions does not mean the end of the epidemic and that the danger is still there.
