Minutes ago, Bernard Grech, who is currently running for Opposition Leader, has announced that his wife, Anne Marie, has tested positive for COVID-19.

Grech went on to share that Anne Marie remained in quarantine and after taking another test, she resulted positive. “During this period when my wife tested positive, I wasn’t in contact with her. Despite this, I am taking the decision to immediately isolate myself,” he announced.
