France’s Europe 1 reported today that Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, had tested positive for the new coronavirus last Christmas, just as the self-imposed quarantine ended after French President Macron reported a positive test. Macron and Brigitte had traveled to spend Christmas at Fort Brégançon in the Var region. The report did not say whether Brigitte was in self-imposed isolation or with other family members there.
Later, Brigitte was tested for the new coronavirus on two consecutive days at the end of December last year, on the 30th and 31st, and the results were reported to have turned negative and normal, according to the source. According to the report, the French presidency did not want to report the news of Brigitte’s positive new coronavirus test in time, because Macron believes that although he promised the French electorate a transparent and public report on the president’s health status, but Brigitte has no official and public activities during Christmas, the test should be private as all French people, and therefore did not report Brigitte’s test results to the public.
The news said that Brigitte tested positive but did not have any symptoms and discomfort.
However, according to Europa Nostra, the fact that Brigitte’s positive test was not announced may have caused subtle problems for the president and his wife, as Brigitte is determined to promote the new crown vaccine for the French population as a promotional service. Brigitte, who is the president of the public fundraising foundation for French hospitals in Paris and the country, will soon participate in a ceremony to launch a campaign to support the health care system and promote vaccination on Jan. 18, and Brigitte should be open and transparent.
The message did not specify the source of Brigitte’s positive test, whether it was linked to President Macron’s positive test earlier.
France is currently focused on promoting widespread vaccination, as more of the French population is skeptical and hesitant about vaccination.
According to experts, the vaccination rate should be at least 70 percent in order to effectively immunize and stop the spread of the New Coronavirus.
Earlier, French media commentary criticized the government for its slow, rigid and even bureaucratic promotion of vaccination, and also criticized Brigitte for not taking the lead. Because in many countries, leaders have taken the initiative to publicly vaccinate against the new crown and give the public a pep talk, Brigitte has been criticized for not doing anything when she was old enough to receive the priority vaccination. But such criticism has been more or less vitriolic because of the age of the first lady.
