63-year-old Haavisto has shown no symptoms and currently works in his residence, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a press issued by the ministry.

The Finnish government and parliament have been informed of Haavisto's conditions, Paivi Paasikoski, Director General of the Government Communications Department at the Prime Minister's Office, told Finnish news agency STT.

Paasikoski said that Haavisto took the test as it was required for a planned business travel.
