Boris Johnson is self-isolating after an MP he had a meeting with later tested positive for COVID-19.
The prime minister said he had been notified by NHS Test and Trace that he has to self-isolate as he has been in contact with someone who has tested positive.
Mr Johnson tweeted: “I have no symptoms, but am following the rules and will be working from No 10 as I continue to lead the government’s pandemic response.”
Mr Johnson had a meeting lasting about 35 minutes with some MPs in Number 10 on Thursday morning, including Lee Anderson.

Neither were wearing face masks.
