BREAKING: British PM, Boris Johnson In Fresh Scare Over #COVID-19 Status—-The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson may have exposed himself again to coronavirus after meeting an MP who later tested positive for the same.
According to Downing street, the recently recovered COVID-19 patient was contacted by NHS Test and Trace on Sunday but is yet to show any symptoms.
PM Johnson spent about 35 minutes with Ashfield MP Lee Anderson who has since tested positive, BBC political correspondent Nick Eardley said.
The Genius Media recalls that In April, Boris Johnson spent three nights in intensive care after falling ill with the virus. He later said it “could have gone either way” and thanked healthcare workers for saving his life.
In a statement, a No 10 spokesman said: “The prime minister has today been notified by NHS Test and Trace that he is required to self-isolate as a contact of someone who has tested positive for 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.”
Conservative MP Mr Anderson posted on his Facebook page to say he was self-isolating.
“On Friday I lost my sense of taste at the same time my wife had a bad headache,” he said. “I had no cough, no fever and felt well. We both had a test on Saturday and the result came in Sunday morning.
“My wife and I both tested positive. I feel absolutely fine and my biggest concern is my wife who is in the shielded group.
“But we are both feeling good.”
