The 42-year-old will now self-isolate for seven days in accordance with the country’s health policy, the palace said. Macron took a PCR test “as soon as the first symptoms appeared,” it added in a statement.

Macron will continue to lead France, working and carrying out his responsibilities remotely, the palace said.
