The United Kingdom said Friday that Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for the new coronavirus.
Boris Johnson’s office says he was tested after showing mild symptoms. Again, in a post made by the prime minister on Instagram he said, “An update from me
Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.
I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.
Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives“
Downing St. says Johnson is self-isolating and continuing to lead the country’s response to COVID-19.
He is the latest high profile individual to be affected by the bug that is sweeping the world.
Last week, Prince Charles tested positive for coronavirus, displaying mild symptoms “but otherwise remains in good health”. He and the Duchess of Cornwall, who tested negative, are self-isolating on the Balmoral Estate.
