Castex followed the route of the Tour de France on Saturday and spent time in a car following the race with tour director Christian Prudhomme. Tour organisers said on Tuesday that Prudhomme had tested positive. A Reuters photographer following the Tour de France said that Castex and Prudhomme spent several hours in each other’s company during Saturday’s stage of the race, in the Pyrenees mountain range.
French official guidance in such cases is for people to self-isolate, stay away from their workplace, and get tested.
