British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was admitted to hospital for tests on Sunday in what Downing Street said was a "precautionary step" because he was showing persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus. "On the advice of his doctor, the prime minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests," Downing Street said. Johnson, 55, on March 27 became the first leader of a major power to announce that he had tested positive. "Wishing the prime minister well and a speedy recovery," Keir Starmer, the newly elected leader of the opposition Labour Party, said. Johnson and his health minister tested positive last month and his chief medical adviser also self isolated.
