PARIS, Dec 20 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The condition of French President Emmanuel Macron, who has tested positive for the coronavirus, is stable, and tests had given reassuring results, a statement from his office said.
Macron, who is working in self-isolation from an official residence outside Paris, “is still presenting the same symptoms of the Covid-19 illness (fatigue, coughing, stiffness)”, said the brief statement, signed by his doctor.
But they were not preventing him from carrying out his duties.
US Pres Donald Trump has spoken with Macron to wish him a quick recovery after becoming infected with the coronavirus, the White House said.
In the conversation, which the White House said took place Thursday, Trump “wished President Macron a speedy recovery and quick return to his full duties,” spokesman Judd Deere said.
“President Trump also extended his best wishes for a Merry Christmas to President Macron, his family, and the People of France,” the statement said. — NNN-AGENCIES
