Boris Johnson tests positive
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Friday he’s tested positive for the coronavirus disease, but has so far experienced only mild symptoms.
Johnson is the first head of government to announce testing positive for COVID-19.
“Over the last 24 hours, I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus,” he tweeted Friday. “I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.”
In a video message, Johnson thanked Britain’s National Health Service, healthcare workers and all Britons working to stop the spread of the virus, which has killed hundreds of people in Britain.
