Masquerade Ball(s) Up: Covid-positive French PM snapped mingling with ministers

After France’s Prime Minister Jean Castex tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday, footage of him mingling with dozens of ministers - all maskless - at last week’s Congress of Mayors of France has been circulated. (Mediapart)

In La Voix du Nord’s clip taken on Tuesday 16 Nov, Castex is clearly seen smiling, hugging and laughing inches from ministers. President Emmanuel Macron was also present.

"There may be a moment of inattention from time to time, obviously a gap," said govt spox Gabriel Attal said. “We're all very careful. Obviously, there is a vigilance, and then an obvious respect for the protocols."

Masking the truth?
