Kazakh ex-president Nazarbayev recovers from COVID-19

Kazakhstan's former President Nursultan Nazarbayev has recovered from COVID-19, which he contracted in mid-June, his spokesman said on Thursday. "Today, Yelbasy tested negative for COVID-19," his spokesman Aidos Ukibay announced in a Twitter post.

Nazarbayev will remain in self-isolation and will work remotely, Ukibay said. He also posted a photo of Nazarbayev walking out of a forest and a screenshot from an activity tracking app showing Nazarbayev had walked 2.5 kilometers.
