LONDON —
Brexit negotiators Michel Barnier and David Frost agreed Thursday to suspend
talks "at our level" after an EU negotiator tested positive for
coronavirus.
The EU's
chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier announced on Twitter that talks between
him and Frost would pause "for a short period," adding that "the
teams will continue their work in full respect of guidelines." British
negotiators are in Brussels this week for intensive negotiations.
His British
counterpart David Frost said he remained in "close contact" with
Barnier and thanked the European Commission "for their immediate help and
support."
"The
health of our teams comes first," Frost tweeted.
A Downing
Street spokesperson said: "We are discussing with [the Commission] the
implications for the negotiations. We have been, and will continue to act in
line with public health guidelines and to ensure the health and welfare of our
teams."
