Emmanuel Macron tested positive Thursday for Covid-19 and will isolate himself for seven days, announced the Elysee.
Prime Minister Jean Castex will have to isolate himself. “Considered as a contact case” of the President of the Republic, he “placed himself in solitary confinement, although he did not present any symptoms of the disease”, announced this Thursday, December 17, Matignon.
He will therefore not go to the Senate where he was to present this Thursday the government’s vaccination strategy, as the day before in the Assembly, and called the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher to apologize for his absence.
