French Prime Minister Jean Castex tested positive for COVID-19 and faced scrutiny on social media after a video of him maskless and shaking hands at an event.
French Prime Minister Jean Castex was the subject of public scrutiny Monday after he tested positive for COVID-19 and videos began to circulate on social media of him not following mask or distancing guidelines.
Many critiquing the videos say his actions went directly against France's official COVID stance to continue to take preventive measures to curb the virus' spread. Experts said that Castex's behavior at the mayoral congress reflects a decrease in vigilance now that a large portion of France's population has received the vaccine.
Castex's office said his 11-year-old daughter infected him with the virus and he is self-isolating for 10 days. Castex was vaccinated in the spring. According to French government spokesman Gabriel Attal defended Castex when the video first began circulating."We're only human," he said.
