Boris Johnson, prime minister of the UK, has gone into
isolation after coming in contact with a COVID-19 patient.
In March, Johnson went into isolation after testing positive
for the coronavirus.
He was later moved into the intensive care unit for treatment
before his discharge from hospital on April 12.
On Sunday, the UK national health services’ track and trace
programme informed the prime minister that he had been in contact with someone
who tested positive for the infection.
Johnson had met with some members of parliament on Thursday
for 35 minutes at his official residence.
Present at the meeting was Lee Anderson, MP for Ashfield in
Nottinghamshire, who later tested positive for COVID-19.
Anderson was pictured standing in close distance to the
prime minister — and with neither of them wearing a face mask.

A spokesperson to the prime minister said Johnson will
continue to work indoors, and that the prime minister does not have any
symptoms of COVID-19.
“The prime minister
will follow the rules and is self-isolating. He will carry on working from
Downing Street, including on leading the government’s response to the
coronavirus pandemic. The PM is well and does not have any symptoms of
Covid-19,” the spokesperson said.
In a tweet, Johnson confirmed the development, saying he has
no symptoms.
“Today I was notified by NHS Test and Trace that I must
self-isolate as I have been in contact with someone who tested positive for
COVID-19,” the tweet reads.
“I have no symptoms, but am following the rules and will be working from No10 as I continue to lead the government’s pandemic response.”
