This is a categorical denial.
"No, the president was not treated with hydroxychloroquine when he was diagnosed positive for Covid-19 last December", indicates the entourage of the head of state at
20 Minutes
.
An answer that follows the assumptions of comedian Jean-Marie Bigard in the long version of
Hold-Up
, this controversial documentary which includes a lot of erroneous information on the coronavirus, available since Monday.

In an interview filmed on an unspecified date, Jean-Marie Bigard returns to his telephone conversation last spring with Emmanuel Macron: "I told him: 'President, frankly, you catch the Covid, are you doing the protocol Professor Raoult? ''.
He said to me '' Of course, the same day, '' says Bigard.
Did Emmanuel Macron actually follow this treatment six months later?
In
Hold-Up
, the comedian speculates: âI don't know that, I don't have proof, probably he caught the Covid, but I think he too must have benefited from this protocol.
Speculations that have therefore denied the entourage of the Head of State.
Last May, Donald Trump revealed that he was taking hydroxychloroquine preventively.
His treatment did not last, however, and he did not receive any when he contracted the coronavirus in the fall.
Last August, a detailed analysis of 29 studies published in the journal
Clinical Microbiology and Infection
confirmed that âhydroxychloroquine is not effective [against Covid-19] and the combination with azithromycin increases mortalityâ.
