Tested Positive After Being Vaccinated
It is no hidden that the prime minister of Luxembourg on May 6 received his share of the first jab. He was injected with AstraZeneca, which proved to be highly effective against the deadly virus, and took to Twitter to announce the same. On July 1, he was supposed to be fully vaccinated following his second shot of the vaccine, but unfortunately, his reports came out to be positive just four days before.
His Condition being Serious but Stable
The reports following his health on Monday declared that the condition of Mr. Bettel was serious yet stable. Currently, the doctors supervising him have decided to keep Mr. Bettel under observation for at least 24 hours to monitor his overall health condition. The observation period could extend by 2-3 days.

Fortunately, no other minister who attended the summit was tested positive, and various videos and images captured from the conference are sheer evidence of ministers, including Mr. Bettel, wearing a mask and following all covid-related protocols. But as fate would have it, the Prime minister of Luxembourg tested positive, but we anyways wish him a speedy recovery.
Many officials took to their social media handles to wish him a speedy recovery. The president of the EU, Ursula von der Leyen, had wished him “a very speedy recovery,” stating that she hopes to meet him again, but until then, he has to keep in good health and take care of himself.
Dear @Xavier_Bettel, I wish you a very speedy recovery and hope to see you soon in good health.
In the meantime, rest and take good care of yourself.
