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.

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.

Boris Johnson met with lawmakers on Thursday. Covid was later confirmed to Conservative Party member and Ashfield MP Lee Anderson. It was then that the Prime Minister entered into self-monitoring.

Anderson underwent Covid test as he showed symptoms, and it was on Sunday the negative result came.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson had sought treatment earlier this year after being diagnosed with Covid.

However, a spokesman for the PM said he is in good health and would continue to perform official duties at his residence on Drowning Street. His office said the prime minister would announce some crucial policies in the next two weeks, including the Covid restrictions.
