All eyes - and worries - are now on the UK.

A Defense Council on the health situation and the Covid-19 epidemic will take place this Sunday at 5:00 p.m. by videoconference, announced the Elysee Palace as concern mounts in Europe over the new variant of the coronavirus circulating in the United Kingdom.

"A Defense Council on the health situation will be held by videoconference this Sunday, December 20 at 5 pm," said the presidency, without further details.

Emmanuel Macron will chair this last-minute Defense Council from the official residence of La Lanterne, where he has been in solitary confinement since his positive Covid-19 test on Thursday.
