After rubbing shoulders with Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme on Saturday, who tested positive on Tuesday, Prime Minister Jean Castex will be tested for Covid-19, Matignon said.

"The Prime Minister is going to be tested again," said Matignon.

The Council of Ministers by videoconference?

Jean Castex took his place on Saturday in the Tour management car, alongside Christian Prudhomme, to follow the 8th stage.

“They both wore a mask and respected barrier gestures,” said Matignon.

Asked about the possibility that Jean Castex is infected, Emmanuel Macron said that the government seminar scheduled for Wednesday could be delayed, or would perhaps be held "in video for the Prime Minister and possible other contact cases".

"We do for ourselves what we ask all fellow citizens to do" if they are identified as a contact case, underlined the Head of State.
