　　The French Presidential Palace revealed on the 18th that Macron left the Elysee Palace in the center of Paris on the evening of the 17th to go to the presidential residence in Versailles, where he can continue to work while in isolation.

Mrs. Macron, Brigitte, tested negative for the new crown virus, and she will continue to stay in the Elysee Palace for isolation.

　　The French presidential residence in Versailles was built in the 18th century, near the famous Palace of Versailles.

The residence is empty and people cannot approach it, so it is suitable for isolation.

The mansion is less than an hour’s drive from the Elysee Palace.

　　French government spokesman Attar said that the French people will be able to know Macron's health at any time, and the president's health will be transparent.

It is reported that there is currently a special medical team responsible for monitoring Macron's health in the presidential residence in Versailles.

　　Macron released a video that lasted more than 3 minutes on social media on the 18th.

This video was recorded in the office of the presidential residence in Versailles. Macron looked a little tired in the video and his speech rate also slowed down.

　　Macron said he feels good, but still has symptoms, including fatigue, headache and dry cough. The symptoms are similar to the previous day.

He said that due to the virus infection, his daily activities have slowed down, but he will continue to deal with daily affairs and pay attention to priorities such as response to the epidemic and Brexit.

　　Macron revealed that after experiencing the initial symptoms, he was tested and self-isolated as required.

After the infection was confirmed, he also registered the test results through the official mobile phone software that tracked the confirmed patients.

He called on the public to continue to cautiously respond to the epidemic, observe epidemic prevention measures, and maintain a high degree of vigilance against the spread of the virus.

　　The epidemic data released by the French Ministry of Health that night showed that the cumulative number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France exceeded 60,000, and there are now 60229 cases, with 610 new deaths.

The total number of confirmed cases in France is now 2,442,990, and 15,674 new cases were newly confirmed on the 18th.
