European Council chief Charles Michel and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez were among the leaders who had to self-isolate.

France this week ended a six-week national lockdown, replaced by a curfew to help deal with a surge in cases.

There are nearly 2.5 million confirmed cases in the country with more than 59,400 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

France plans to begin launching a coronavirus vaccination program starting December 27. (T/RE1)
