“According to what is established in the current sanitary recommendations, the President of the Republic will isolate himself for seven days. He will continue working and ensuring remote activities,” the official statement reads.
António Costa’s office has not yet responded, but it is likely that the prime minister will have to isolate himself after this contact. António Costa was expected to meet today with all the ministers of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
According to RTP, Costa will carry out a test on covid-19 today, which was previously scheduled for the trip to São Tomé and Príncipe scheduled for this weekend.
However, Le Monde reports, citing the president of the Senate, French Prime Minister Jean Castex, has isolated himself.
It is not only in Portugal where the news is generating apprehension. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who met with Macron on Monday in Paris, has just announced that he will be in isolation until the 24th, reports El País.
