French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday said he was “doing well,” albeit experiencing some symptoms.

In what looked like a self-shot video from the presidential retreat in Versailles where he was isolating, Macron said he was experiencing symptoms that included headaches, fatigue, and a dry cough. He promised to give daily updates and be “totally transparent” about the evolution of his illness.
