EU Chief Brexit Negotiator Tests Positive For Coronavirus

The European Union (EU) Chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, has tested positive for coronavirus.

The revelation was made on Thursday by Barnier himself in a tweet- @MichelBarnier, where he said that, “I would like to inform you that I have tested positive for Covid-19. I am doing well and in good spirits. I am following all the necessary instructions, as is my team.

“For all those affected already, and for all those currently in isolation, we will get through this together.”

The UK’s Europe adviser on Brexit, David Frost, was on Wednesday scheduled to resume talks with Barnier, but the meeting was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Negotiations would continue next week, but the officials would no longer meet in person.

I would like to inform you that I have tested positive for #COVID19. I am doing well and in good spirits. I am following all the necessary instructions, as is my team.

For all those affected already, and for all those currently in isolation, we will get through this together.
