Alessandro Mattinzoli, 60-year-old Commissioner for Economic Development in Lombardy, the Italian region most affected by Coronavirus, has tested positive for the virus.
The Lombardy region confirmed the case in a statement on Monday.
The region said the entire 17-member Lombardy regional government would undergo testing for the virus.
Earlier, Lombardy President, Attilio Fontana, said he would self-quarantine after a member of his staff tested positive for Coronavirus.
