Macron refused to take a coronavirus test in Russia. He passed the French PCR test before leaving for Moscow.
French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected the Kremlin’s request for a Russian COVID-19 test. Therefore, the head of France at the talks was planted at a considerable distance from Russian President Vladimir Putin. About it Reuters said sources close to Macron.
The French head of state was offered either testing or strict social distancing.
“We knew very well that this meant no handshake and this long table. But we could not allow (the Russian side – ed.) to get their hands on the president’s DNA,” one of the sources said.
A second source noted that Macron passed a French PCR test before leaving for Moscow.
“The Russians have told us that Putin needs to be kept in a strict medical bubble,” the source added.
The talks between Macron and Putin took place on February 7 and lasted more than five hours. The long table at which the presidents sat became the subject of numerous jokes and memes.
