BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Commission’s Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said on Sunday she would self-isolate next week and work from home after one of her co-workers tested positive for COVID-19.

“I have been informed that a working relation is tested coronavirus positive.” Vestager said on Twitter. “Luckily, he has no symptoms and I wish him all the best. I have been tested, am now in quarantine and will work from home the coming week.”
