The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier says he's tested positive for the coronavirus.
In a series of tweets, he said: "I would like to inform you that I have tested positive for COVID19.
"I am doing well and in good spirits. I am following all the necessary instructions, as is my team."

For all those affected already, and for all those currently in isolation, we will get through this together.— Michel Barnier (@MichelBarnier) March 19, 2020
The 69-year-old French politician added: "For all those affected already, and for all those currently in isolation, we will get through this together."
Earlier this week, he wished a happy St Patrick's Day "to all my Irish friends around the world".
