Emmanuel Macron positive for Covid: how is the President’s health evolving?

Affected by Covid-19 since December 17, 2020, Emmanuel Macron is still isolated in La Lanterne and his state of health is said to be stable.

It’s been almost a week thatEmmanuel Macron has tested positive for Covid-19. The President of the Republic suffers from fatigue, headaches, dry cough and muscle aches. So he got isolated within the official residence of La Lanterne, located in Versailles, so as not to contaminate his close collaborators or his partner and to recover quietly from the disease. December 18, 2020, the head of state wished to reassure the French himself while filming himself in front of the camera to give news of his health, before posting the video on Twitter.

A 43rd birthday spent without his wife

“I’m fine”, declared Emmanuel Macron, who then still had the first symptoms of the coronavirus. Since, the president is always active, even if he manages everything remotely. Monday, December 21, he chaired a Council of Ministers by videoconference, his features drawn, looking exhausted and an FFP2 protective mask on his face. It was also the day of son 43th anniversary, which he spent in particular away from Brigitte Macron, to avoid contaminating it. As a reminder, she was tested and was not affected by the Covid-19.

Emmanuel Macron’s state of health is “stable”

Gabriel Attal, the government spokesperson, for his part assured (like the personal doctor of the Head of State), that Emmanuel Macron’s state of health is currently “stable”. Nothing to worry about, therefore as to the evolution of the disease. Thursday, December 24, the President of the Republic will have to take another PCR test to find out if he is still positive for the coronavirus. If this is still the case, he will have to remain in isolation at La Lanterne and will not be able to spend Christmas Eve with his wife.
