PN leadership candidate Bernard Grech has tested negative for COVID-19 for the second time, and will resume his campaign in person.

Friday’s test follows another one taken on Wednesday which had also tested negative.

Grech had restricted his campaign activities to radio and online interviews from home after his wife tested positive for the virus.

On Tuesday, Grech said his wife self-isolated as soon as she got to know that a person at the gym she attends had tested positive.

She initially had taken the test which came out negative. However, on the advice of the health authorities, she remained in isolation and later took another test, which revealed a positive result.

Grech said he had not been near his wife since she found out that a person at the gym had COVID-19.

On Friday, the PN leadership hopeful said Annmarie Grech was recovering well and was in good health.
