United Kingdom Health Secretary, Matt Hancock said he has tested positive for coronavirus.
In a video posted on his Twitter, he confirmed he has Covid-19.
It comes hours after Boris Johnson announced he too had tested positive for the virus.
In a video on Twitter, the Prime Minister said he has “mild symptoms” and is self-isolating but says he will “continue to lead the government’s response”.
Mr. Johnson sat near to Matt Hancock at Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister’s spokesman initially said he was “not aware of any further testing” when asked if the Health Secretary – and other Cabinet members – had been tested.
In a video posted on Twitter, Mr. Hancock said he was experiencing “mild symptoms” and said he would be self-isolating until next Thursday.
The Health Secretary said: “Fortunately for me the symptoms so far have been very mild so I’ve been able to carry on with the work driving forward the UK response.”
He also said a “massive thank you to everybody in the NHS, working in social care and right across the board on the response”.
