EU Council postpones meeting to Oct. 1-2

The EU Council meeting set for Sept. 24-25 was postponed to Oct. 1-2 after its security officer tested positive for coronavirus.

"The @eucopresident [Charles Michel] today learned that a security officer, with whom he was in close contact early last week, tested positive for COVID," said spokesman Barend Leyts on Twitter.

"The President is tested regularly and tested negative yesterday. Respecting Belgian rules, he has gone into quarantine as of today," he added.
