Tested positive for Covid-19, Emmanuel Macron is in solitary confinement.

The French president spent the night in the residence of La Lanterne.

Its contamination caused a cascade of contact cases.

The Head of State received for lunch the presidents and presidents of parliamentary groups of the National Assembly for lunch on Tuesday and the majority executives were at the Elysee Palace on Wednesday evening.

Could public opinion hold it against him?
