PARIS A croaky-voiced French President Emmanuel Macron held a cabinet meeting Monday via video, in which he indicated the French could enforce “systematic tests” as a condition for French nationals returning from Britain to France for the holidays.
Macron, in stable condition, has been working from home at the Elysee Palace as he recovers from his COVID-19 infection.

Graham Barron is an architect at Lyons Architecture living with his family in Melbourne, Australia.
In 2019, we moved our family of four from Vancouver to the city of Melbourne – and just a year later, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. To tackle the first wave, the Australian government closed its borders to all but returning citizens and permanent residents, and put them through a 14-day hotel quarantine.
