—French President Emmanuel Macron has tested positive for Covid-19, his office said in statement Thursday.
The diagnosis comes at a particularly sensitive time for Macron. France is struggling to tame the pandemic, with the president fielding unrelenting criticism of his handling of the crisis and the economic fallout. He’s also trying to push through controversial plans to bolster the powers of the police while dealing with the closing stages of Brexit.
Macron is the third leader of a G7 nation to contract the virus, after US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. French prime minister Jean Castex is also self-isolating. In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has imposed a nationwide lockdown that will extend over Christmas and hinted it could slip into January. In the UK, Johnson is allowing households to mix over the holiday.
