KIEV, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his retest for COVID-19 was still positive but he felt better, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported on Thursday.

"My retest, unfortunately, is still positive, but I continue to work every day. This is my job. The only difference is that I work not on Bankova Street, but on Academician Zabolotny Street (where the Feofania hospital is located)," Zelensky said in his blog on Wednesday.

Zelensky said he felt better. "The smells are back today. Strength is returning. The temperature is dropping. The desire to return to live work is rising," he said.

According to local media, a communication channel has been set up in Zelensky's ward, allowing him to keep his regular work schedule while under isolation.
