Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel will remain hospitalized for a second day after testing positive for Covid-19 over a week ago, just days after attending a summit with European Union counterparts.

Bettel’s condition “is serious, but stable,” his government said Monday in a statement. Medical staff decided he needed to remain in the hospital “to keep him under observation, for an estimated duration of two to four days.”
