Jaani, who is vaccinated, announced on social media that he had experienced "the usual symptoms".

"Ironically, I was a few weeks away from the six-month booster dose. I strongly recommend that everyone do this so that protection [against the] virus is as strong as possible," the minister said.

"We all need to do everything we can today to reduce contact. Where possible, it is wise to work from home. And most importantly, we must vaccinate - the first [dose], the second [dose], the booster [shot]."

Member of the Riigikogu Imre Sooäär (Center) also recently tested positive for COVID-19, Postimees reported this weekend.
