Where are we at “Facing the Info”?
The CNews meeting has been overtaken by the health crisis since Wednesday evening.
"We immediately learned of a suspicion of a case of Covid within the team," said presenter Christine Kelly at the end of the show.
The general management has just informed me that under the sanitary rules, we are put in septaine.
”An announcement made while Eric Zemmour“ feverish ”,“ symptomatic ”, in his own words, had intervened exceptionally from an office of the channel during the show.
According to our information, the polemicist is placed in solitary confinement until Wednesday, October 14 inclusive.
The occupational health service of the Canal + group to which CNews belongs indicated to the other participants in the program that they could “come and work on site normally while continuing to apply barrier gestures”.
Explanations: Marc Menant, Eric de Riedmatten and Dimitri Pavlenko do not "fulfill the definition of a contact case" even if they did not wear a mask on the set.
Their presence nevertheless remains uncertain this Thursday evening.
And three shows for Pascal Praud
And what about Christine Kelly, who referees the debates?
It is not considered as a contact case either.
But this time, CNews management took immediate action.
It will be replaced at a moment's notice by Pascal Praud, who already provides “L'Heure des Pros” from 9 am to 10:30 am and “L'Heure des Pros 2”, from 8 to 9 pm.
It's not always easy to make decisions when the Covid is around.

Before finally being deprived of antenna for a few days.
CNews had replaced it with Gérard Leclerc in the morning and Patrice Boisfer for “Punchline” in the afternoon.
