UK: Boris Johnson self-isolating after positive COVID-19 contact
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is self-isolating after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Johnson, who was admitted to intensive care in a London hospital earlier this year with the novel coronavirus, is well and does not have any symptoms, a spokesman for the prime minister said on Sunday.
“He will carry on working from Downing Street, including on leading the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic,” the spokesman said. “The prime minister will follow the rules and is self-isolating.”
The Prime Minister said he was perfectly well after coming into contact with someone with COVID-19 and will drive the government forward via Zoom while he self-isolates for two weeks in Downing Street, said Reuters.
