French leader Emmauel Macron has announced that he has tested positive for Covid-19, just days after hosting EU group presidents at a dinner in Paris.
French officials have confirmed that he was showing minor symptoms and was tested out of caution. Macron has said that he will self-isolate for a week but work remotely from the Elysee palace.
Last week he also attended a session of the EU parliament in Brussels and spoke to several other world leaders while wearing a mask.
Donc tous les présidents de groupe parlementaire et tous les ministres sont cas contact.
Joyeux Noël à toutes et tous !— Pierre Januel (@PJanuel) December 17, 2020
Macron joins Boris Johnson and Donald Trump as other G8 leaders who have contracted Covid this year.
