Former President Martti Ahtisaari and his wife Eeva are said to be recovering from Covid-19, the disease caused by novel coronavirus.
On Tuesday, a statement from the Office of the President indicated that samples from both patients came back negative for the virus and that they were continuing their recovery.
The office broke the news that 83-year-old Eeva Ahtisaari was diagnosed with the disease on 21 March and later revealed on 24 March that the former president, 82, also tested positive.
