Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said Friday he has tested positive for the new coronavirus, but he told a local radio station he feels well. However, in a televised address to the nation, Giammattei looked a bit out of breath. Up to now, I have body aches, it hurt more yesterday than today, like a bad cold,” the president said. “I don’t have a fever, I have a bit of a cough.”“I am busy working from home,” he said. The country of 16 million has more than 83,600 confirmed coronavirus cases, and 3,036 deaths.
