French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Friday he had tested positive for coronavirus, but had no symptoms and would continue to carry out his duties while quarantined at home.

“I tested positive for COVID-19 this evening,” Le Maire said in a statement on Twitter, adding that he would remain at home for seven days. “I immediately followed the health measures brought in by the government by self-isolating at home.”French Prime Minister Jean Castex last week tested negative for COVID-19, after he came into contact with someone who tested positive at the Tour de France cycle race.

Ivermectin, zinc , + antibiotics, ASAP. He will be ok. Make sure vitamin D levels are up.

So maybe he just got infected and beat the virus 2 months ago without noticing it. Pcr positive in asyntomatics is misleading. Don't know if infectious or just residues of the virus in the throat. Tons of that in the new 'cases', meanwhile no significant death increase

Bon guérison 🙏🏼

Hope he will be okay.

Hahaha. French ministers are positive on Covid19, good bye. Deadly French minister
