Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen and Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen tested positive for Covid-19 recently.

They are now in good health and, following the recommendations of doctors, live in isolation at home, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Both were scheduled to leave for Niger this morning (Wednesday) to attend the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers' 47th session (CFM).

The planned visit was cancelled as they got the Covid-19 test reports on Tuesday.

They went for the Covid-19 test as per rules before travelling abroad but had no COVID-19 symptoms before the COVID-19 test.
