Bolivia’s interim president Jeanine Anez announced Thursday that she has tested positive for COVID-19. “I’ve tested positive for COVID-19, I’m fine, I will work from isolation,” she broke the news through a video message on Twitter.

The 53-year-old said that she would remain in quarantine for 14 days before taking another test. Anez becomes the second South American president in a matter of days to contract COVID-19, after Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro announced on Tuesday about his positive results.

Another high-ranking Latin American government official to contract the virus is Venezuela’s Constitutional Assembly President Diosdado Cabello, popularly seen as the the second-most powerful person in the country after President Nicolas Maduro.

Four members of Anez’s cabinet had tested positive in recent days, while Senate President Eva Copa went into self-isolation on Wednesday as a precaution.

“Given many of them tested positive over the last week, I took the test and I was also positive,” said Anez.

The interim leader’s illness comes with Bolivia gearing up for a general election in less than two months, despite being in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. Anez initially opposed the September election, saying it should be postponed “one or two months” due to the pandemic, but eventually relented.

The conservative politician assumed the interim presidency in November after socialist former leader Evo Morales resigned and fled the country following three weeks of unrest over his controversial re-election.

“My solidarity and I hope for a speedy and complete recovery to the President @JeanineAnez,” Mesa, who was president from 2003-05, wrote on Twitter.

Bolivia, a country of 11 million, has recorded almost 43,000 coronavirus infections and more than 1,500 deaths. The government expects there to be 130,000 cases by the time the election comes around.

More than 12 million people worldwide have contracted the virus, and almost half of those have been in Latin America and the United States.
