French President Emmanuel Macron has tested positive for Covid-19, forcing several European leaders to self-isolate after coming into contact with him.

The 42-year-old was tested after developing symptoms and will now self-isolate for seven days.

Macron joins a growing list of leaders who have contracted the virus, including - of course - Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Jair Bolsonaro.
