The European Union summit has been postponed for a week as EU Council President Charles Michel has gone into quarantine after a close collaborator was diagnosed with COVID-19, reports AP.

Spokesman Barend Leyts made the disclosure on Tuesday, saying “Michel today learned that a security officer, with whom he was in close contact early last week, tested positive for COVID."

Leyts said that the European Council chief is "respecting Belgian rules" and "he has gone into quarantine as of today."
