French President Macron and National Leaders Previously Infected with Novel Coronavirus-BBC News

EU chief Charles Michel and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez had close contact with Macron on Monday and are now in self-isolation.

Analysis by BBC Paris correspondent Schofield:

The Elysee Palace has promised to portray everything as usual. Macron is back at work and meetings with the finance and foreign ministers are taking place as scheduled, but the other side is on the side.

The Elysee Palace emphasized that in view of the epidemic, the government has made significant adjustments to its operations and videoconferencing is now the norm. So unless the president’s illness gets worse, no one will notice much of a difference.

At the same time, like all ordinary Chinese, the tracking and monitoring system has been activated, and a large number of domestic and foreign dignitaries have been told to be isolated.

The sign is obvious: Although Macron is the president of France, everyone is equal in the face of the virus. Therefore, you must also comply with the rules.

Before Macron’s “conscription”, many national leaders were infected with the new crown.

US President Donald Trump was infected with the new corona virus in late September and early October, recovered after three days of hospitalization, and returned to the White House.

Trump, 74, announced that he was infected with the new corona and developed symptoms such as a high fever and a sharp drop in blood oxygen. The medical staff decided to send him to the hospital.

Trump stays in the presidential suite at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. During the hospital stay, the White House claimed that the president was still in office.

Trump has posted videos and tweets many times; He also left the hospital and drove nearby to greet supporters outside the hospital. These actions aroused suspicion and criticism.

At least 12 people close to Trump in the White House have tested positive for the virus, including First Lady Melania, senior staff and several Republican senators.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson contracted the new crown in late March, was hospitalized with severe symptoms, and received treatment in the intensive care unit.

After being healed and released from the hospital, Johnson, now 55, has been living at the Checkers Country Mansion to recover.

During Johnson’s disease, the British government was provisionally represented by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs and First Secretary of State Raab.

Johnson self-isolated after testing positive for the new corona virus. After 10 days, due to “persistent symptoms” (such as fever and cough), he followed the doctor’s advice and went to St Thomas Hospital in central London on April 5 for an examination. Soon after, he was admitted to the hospital due to his worsening condition, but a day later his condition worsened and he was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Johnson returned to 10 Downing Street on April 27 to resume his normal work.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for the new crown in July. Earlier, he called the new corona pneumonia a “trivial flu.” He often did not wear a mask and encouraged people to gather.

Brazil is one of the countries most affected by the new corona epidemic in the world, with more than 5.3 million people infected.

In mid-October, President Bolsonaro turned the country’s strategy to deal with the new corona epidemic 180 degrees and announced that the Brazilian government would not buy the new corona vaccine made in China.

The new corona vaccine developed jointly by China Kexing Company and a public health research institution in Sao Paulo has been considered for inclusion in Brazil’s National Immunization Program.

In addition to the Chinese vaccine, the Brazilian government also plans to buy the new corona vaccine produced by the University of Oxford and the pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca.

Polish President Andrzej Duda was diagnosed with the new corona virus in October, but is feeling fine.

After Duda, 48, was diagnosed with an infection, Chinese President Xi Jinping called to express his condolences.

The new crown epidemic in Poland is serious. The Polish opposition party criticized the government for not preparing for the second wave of the epidemic.

With the increase in the number of infected, the National Stadium in Warsaw has been transformed into a “square cabin” hospital for the treatment of patients with new crowns. At the end of October, strict measures to prevent the epidemic were implemented. Some schools have distance learning and restaurants and bars do not accept meals for dinner.

The Algerian Presidential Palace issued a statement on November 3 that President Abdelmadjid Tebboune had tested positive for the new corona virus.

Teben, 75, was self-isolating for 5 days after being exposed to a suspected case of the new crown in late October. After that, he was admitted to a military hospital in Algiers on October 27 for special care on the advice of a doctor and went to Germany the next day. Receive a complete medical exam.

On November 15, the Presidential Palace declared that President Teben completed his treatment in Germany and his health returned to normal.

Teben assumed the presidency in December 2019.
