The European Union has postponed its summit for a week because EU Council President Charles Michel has gone into quarantine after a close collaborator was diagnosed with Covid-19.

Spokesman Barend Leyts said Mr Michel “today learned that a security officer, with whom he was in close contact early last week, tested positive for Covid”.
