Brigitte Macron, the wife of the President of the Republic, tested positive for Covid-19 on December 24, without showing serious symptoms, before being tested negative six days later, his cabinet said on Saturday, confirming information Press.
Brigitte Macron's cabinet, now fully recovered, told AFP that the information had not been disclosed since it had no impact on its public agenda.
The First Lady, 67, tested positive on Christmas Eve during the couple's vacation in Brégançon in the Var, a week after her husband who had been placed in isolation after contracting the disease.
Suffering from mild symptoms, she was then tested negative on December 30 and again on December 31, which allowed her to return to Paris and resume her activities on January 4.
A week after Emmanuel Macron
Tested positive for Covid-19 on December 17, Emmanuel Macron had remained in solitary confinement for a week at the official residence of La Lanterne, while his wife remained at the Elysee.
The head of state, whose Elysée has given daily news, suffered from cough, fever and body aches.
He himself had made a video to tell the French about his state of health.
The announcement of his illness had led to the isolation, as contact cases, of a series of political figures, including Prime Minister Jean Castex and the President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand.
