French President Emmanuel Macron has tested positive for COVID-19, the French Presidency said on Thursday.
"The President of the Republic has been diagnosed positive for COVID-19 today," a statement said. The diagnosis was made following a PCR test performed after he showed initial symptoms, though his symptoms were not listed.
Macron will self-isolate for seven days, according to the statement, but will "continue to work and take care of his activities at a distance."
In light of the diagnosis, Macron has canceled all of his upcoming trips, including a scheduled visit to Lebanon.
His office is also currently in the process of identifying those people with whom he may have been in contact. Macron attended a European Council heads of state meeting on December 10 and 11.
