British Prime Minister said on Friday he had tested positive for coronavirus and was self-isolating at his Downing Street home.
“I want to bring you up to speed on something that’s happening today which is that I’ve developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus. That’s to say - a temperature and a persistent cough.“So I am working from home. I’m self-isolating. And that’s entirely the right thing to do.
“And I want to thank everybody who’s involved, I want to thank, above all, our amazing NHS staff. It was very moving last night to join in that national clap for the NHS. “An amazing national effort by the public services. But also by every member of the British public who’s volunteering, an incredible response – 600,000 people have volunteered to take part in a great national effort to protect people from the consequences of coronavirus - I want to thank you.
“And the way we’re going to get through it is, of course, by applying the measures that you’ll have heard so much about.
