Macron ‘stable’ after virus infection: presidency
PARIS, Dec 19, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The condition of French President Emmanuel Macron, who has tested positive for the coronavirus, is stable, and tests had given reassuring results, a statement from his office said Saturday.
Macron, who is working in self-isolation from an official residence outside Paris, “is still presenting the same symptoms of the Covid-19 illness (fatigue, coughing, stiffness)”, said the brief statement, signed by his doctor.
But they were not preventing him from carrying out his duties.
