PARIS (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Jean Castex has tested negative for the COVID-19 virus, BFM TV reported on Tuesday, citing Castex’s Matignon department.
Castex had undergone the COVID-19 test as a precaution after he shared a car with the director of the Tour de France cycle race, who has since tested positive for the virus.
