Governor of Venezuela's COVID-plagued Zulia state in clinic -sources

(Reuters) - The governor of the Venezuelan state of Zulia, which
President Nicolas Maduro has identified as a coronavirus hotspot, has
checked into a clinic to seek treatment for respiratory trouble, three
sources familiar with the situation said on Wednesday.

Omar Prieto was admitted on Tuesday night to a private clinic near
Zulia's capital of Maracaibo where he is receiving preventative
treatment while he awaits the results of a COVID-19 test, according to
two of the sources.

A positive test result would underscore the severity of the outbreak in
Zulia, which borders neighboring Colombia, and signal that high-ranking officials in Maduro's government are at risk in the pandemic.
