Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital for tests, ten days after testing positive for coronavirus.
While the Queen was addressing the nation in a television broadcast last night, Boris Johnson (55) was on his way to hospital, where he remains this morning.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will chair this morning’s Coronavirus update cabinet meeting in Downing Street.
A statement issued by 10 Downing Street last night said: “On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests.
“This is a precautionary step, as the Prime Minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus ten days after testing positive for the virus.
“The Prime Minister thanks NHS staff for all of their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the Government’s advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.”
