President Emmanuel Macron of France is to go into isolation for a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19, the Elysee Palace has announced.
声明称，马克龙是在出现初步症状后进行的检测，随后确诊感染新冠病毒。不过，他将继续工作，但所有的活动以远程方式进行。
No more details of his condition have been released but he will continue to conduct government business remotely. His planned visit to Lebanon on Dec 22 has been cancelled.
French Prime Minister Jean Castex will self-isolate after contact with Macron, his office said, adding that he was showing no symptoms and had tested negative.
Macron's wife Brigitte will also be self-isolating but also shows no symptoms.
The timing is awkward for Macron, who is trying to handle the pandemic crisis in his own country while keeping a close eye on Brexit talks and a host of other international issues.
