His first “public” appearance since was diagnosed positive for coronavirus It was carried out on Thursday afternoon by Emanuel Macron, who participated in an online meeting on international humanitarian aid issues. He was sitting behind a desk in a turtleneck, a jacket, and a face mask.
The French president is “very likely” insulted by Covid during the European Union summit last week, the French presidency announced.
Macron has been quarantined at the Palais des Champs-Elysées, but continues to work remotely, with reports in the French press accusing him of abandoning the rules of social distancing.
Just on Monday, three days before falling ill, Emanuel Macron appeared at the Elysee to greet OECD head Angel Guria with a warm handshake, almost hugging his 70-year-old visitor.
Both wore masks, but Macron broke his government’s number one rule: no handshakes, hugs, or kisses.
It should be noted that Angel Guria has also been placed in preventive quarantine.
From namaste to the parliamentary tables
Macron has always been passionate about saying hello, hugging leaders or kissing and patting them on the back.
At the recent summit, however, Macron chose the “fist” as a way to greet his European partners, while at the Elysee he received Charles Michel and Pedro Sánchez with an elbow salute and blows on the back.
His greetings in the first wave of the pandemic were equally careful. Specifically, in March, days before putting the country into a national lockdown, he replaced the traditional handshake with the Indian namaste greeting, when he met with the King and Queen of Spain in Paris, placing his hands in a prayer position and making a small bow.
He repeated that greeting in June, when he met with Prince Charles of England, while maintaining the necessary social distance when he saw British Prime Minister Boris Johnson outside 10 Downing Street.
But on October 28, when he announced the imposition of the second confinement, he included himself among those who had not reverently followed the rules of social distance and personal hygiene. “We should all have followed the rules of hygiene and social distance more, especially with our friends and family,” he said in a televised statement.
And he wondered, “Is now the time to apologize?”
Finally, on Tuesday he offered a dinner with a score of parliamentary leaders and on Wednesday he had dinner with a dozen deputies, according to parliamentary sources and contrary to the recommendations of his government of no more than six guests at the festive tables of the time.
