The president of the Republicans (LR) Christian Jacob has tested positive for the coronavirus, announced his entourage on Sunday. Christian Jacob "is not hospitalized" and "he was confined to his home" where he is subject to containment measures, said this source.
As a precaution "the party headquarters will remain closed" for the moment, we said from the same source. Christian Jacob was regularly involved in the municipal campaign, especially in Paris where he spoke on March 9 during the meeting of Rachida Dati Salle Gaveau, to which many right-wing figures, including former President Nicolas Sarkozy, were invited .
The president of LR was strongly indignant Thursday for a possible postponement of the municipal elections because of the coronavirus crisis.
