While it is not yet clear where he contracted the infection, Duda was in Tallinn on Monday, where he met with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, who was later quarantined, according to British media.
A spokesman for the Polish president also caught the coronavirus and said on Twitter that he was isolated in quarantine.

The president also met with 19-year-old tennis star Iga Schwentek, who won the Roland Garros tournament this year, and awarded him a Golden Cross of Merit for his sporting achievements. “Neither I nor the members of my team have symptoms of coronavirus. We test regularly. We will go to quarantine, as are the rules,” wrote the tennis player on Twitter.
Duda is among a handful of world leaders who have contracted COVID-19, including US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
