French President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed the positive of Covid-19 today. Therefore, he will start undergoing quarantine. For all you know, he is one of the few Covid-19 certified world leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Donald Trump.
In addition, the country's leaders underwent an examination after experiencing several symptoms. According to national regulations, he has been quarantined for 7 days. However, he will continue to work and carry out his duties remotely.
Accordingly, Macron's visit to Lebanon scheduled for next week had to be canceled.
In addition, French Prime Minister Jean Castex will also undergo quarantine after becoming one of the close contacts with the president. In addition, Macron Brigitte's wife will do the same despite not having any symptoms.
Meanwhile, France earlier this week had eased sanctions imposed to combat the second wave of coronavirus but the rate of infection is still high.
There are more than 59,300 deaths recorded in France due to coronavirus since the initial transmission of the virus.
Even more disturbing is when more than 17,000 new cases of infection were recorded within a day as people began to get busy preparing for Christmas.
