London: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is self-isolating after a meeting with a Member of Parliament who later tested positive for COVID-19, Downing Street said. He will carry on working from Downing Street, including on leading the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic," the spokesperson said. Johnson spent three nights in intensive care at St. Thomas' Hospital in central London in April after testing positive for COVID-19. Johnson had a meeting lasting about 35 minutes with some MPs at his office in 10 Downing Street on Thursday morning, including Lee Anderson — the MP for Ashfield in the East Midlands region of England. Anderson later developed symptoms and tested positive for COVID-19 and posted on his Facebook page to say he was self-isolating.
