“I have an activity that is a bit slowed down due to the virus, but the priority files, I continue to take care of them, whether it is the evolution of the epidemic in our country or the Brexit file“, declares Emmanuel Macron in a video that he posted on Twitter, Friday, December 18, the day after the announcement by his teams of his contamination with Covid-19.

“I have tested positive, which shows that the virus can really affect everyone, because I am very protected, I am very careful, I respect barrier gestures, distances, I wear the mask, I put on hydroalcoholic gel on a regular basis and, despite everything, I caught this virus, defends the Head of State. No doubt a moment of neglect, a moment of bad luck too, but it is so. “
The head of state also wishes to reassure the French. “I’m fine, I have the same symptoms as yesterday, that is, fatigue, headaches, a dry cough, like hundreds of thousands of you who have had to go through this virus or who live it today “, he said. He assures that he will return “every day counts the evolution of the disease”, before specifying : “There is normally no reason for this to go wrong, but I am under medical surveillance and will report to you in a completely transparent manner.”
Thursday, a number of heads of state and political figures isolated themselves following the announcement of the president’s contamination.
