Shortly after the start of her visit to Pakistan, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had to cancel all scheduled appointments. A rapid corona test was positive. Actually, she wanted to be on the road by the end of the week.

After a positive rapid corona test shortly after the start of her visit to Pakistan, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock canceled all other appointments. This was announced by the spokesman for the Federal Foreign Office, Christofer Burger, on Tuesday on the sidelines of the trip to the Pakistani capital Islamabad. Originally, the Green politician wanted to travel to Greece and Turkey after her visit to Pakistan, which was planned until Wednesday.

“All other appointments are now canceled”

Burger said Baerbock realized at lunch that she no longer tasted good and then did a rapid corona test. This was positive. There was a positive corona case in her family on Saturday. But she had little contact with him and has been consistently testing herself ever since. A quick test was still negative on Tuesday morning. “All other appointments are now canceled,” said the spokesman.

The spokesman continued to inform about the further procedure for the return journey in the next few hours. At the beginning of her visit to Pakistan, Baerbock was received by Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in the morning.
