The president of the European Council, Charles Michel, has entered self-isolation, his spokesman said Thursday, after meeting France's President Emmanuel Macron earlier in the week. Macron has tested positive for the Covid-19 virus, but his spokesman Barend Leyts said Michel had tested negative on Tuesday after returning from Paris. "However as a matter of precaution the president will go into self-isolation," he tweeted. dc/del/gd
