Washington: Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), US media has reported.

Weinstein (68) is in prison in northern New York state after being sentenced to 23 years in jail for rape and sexual assault.

The former film producer’s diagnosis was first reported on Sunday evening by local media, according to a report by news agency AFP.
