Starting Sunday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be back in isolation from the crown after being in close contact with an infected MP.
Last Thursday, Johnson had a meeting with several members of parliament at 10 Downing Street. One of those who attended the meeting, Rep. Lee Anderson, has since been diagnosed with the infection.
Boris Johnson has previously been infected with corona. Then he became seriously ill and was hospitalized.
– At breakfast with the prime minister.
Anderson posted a photo on his Facebook page Thursday afternoon where he posed with the British prime minister. On Sunday he published a new post where he says that on Friday he lost his sense of taste and his wife had a severe headache.
– At breakfast with the Prime Minister. I was there with the wish list for Ashfield and Eastwood (the constituency that jou.anm represents), he wrote.
He tested himself on Saturday and on Sunday the result was positive.
According to The Guardian, the meeting with members of parliament lasted 35 minutes.
Downing Street has stated that the prime minister’s residence is a safe place to work, but that factors like the length of the meeting mean Johnson should isolate himself anyway.
– The Prime Minister will follow the rules and isolate himself. He will continue to work from Downing Street, including dealing with the pandemic. He feels fine and shows no symptoms, says a spokesman for Boris Johnson.
Next week will be demanding for the Prime Minister, who enters the final negotiations on the Brexit issue. You must now attend a video conference at Nr. 10 Downing Street.
Hard week for Johnson
It has been a turbulent week for the British Prime Minister. On Friday night, Johnson’s controversial special adviser and chief of staff Dominic Cummings resigned.
He has had a great influence on Johnson’s policies and has been an important strategist for the Prime Minister.
Lately, however, he has been at the center of a power struggle in British high politics. Among other things, he has broken infection control rules and opposed the quarantine laws that he himself has been behind.
Johnson’s communications manager Lee Cain also resigned this week.
Infected in March: got seriously ill
After Johnson was released from the hospital in April, he thanked the health service for saving his life.
– I owe them my life, it is said that Boris Johnson told his friends according to Sky News, and also said that the doctors and nurses gave him an “exemplary” treatment.
Johnson has since reopened the partnership and closed it again.
On the same day that Britain surpassed one million corona infected in the transition from November to October, the Prime Minister introduced several strict measures.
– Christmas will be different this year, he said.
Then he entered the following measurements:
- All pubs and restaurants are closed. Take-out and food delivery should be allowed.
- All stores that are not absolutely necessary should close.
- Meetings in the home are not allowed, except for childcare and other forms of support.
- Travel abroad will not be allowed, except for business trips.
- Domestic travel is not recommended, except for business travel.
- Overnight stays away from home are only allowed for work purposes.
- Courts, schools and universities are still open.
- Exercise and outdoor activities are encouraged.
- Religious gatherings are not allowed, but visiting denominations to pray is allowed.
