Days after testing positive, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was taken to hospital on April 5, Sunday, for tests. After announcing that he had mild symptoms of COVID-19 on March 27, he had been in self-isolation at his Downing Street residence for seven days.
Meanwhile, Johnson's office said that he is still suffering symptoms like mild fever. Later his office in a statement 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 10 days after testing positive for the virus."
Johnson, has become one of most high-profile world leader to contract the virus. Meanwhile, his pregnant wife, Carrie Symonds, said she has been ill with symptoms for a week but now recovering.
Earlier in the week, Johnson, shared a video message on Friday, saying, "In my own case, although I'm feeling better and I have done my seven days of isolation, alas, I still have one of the minor symptoms... a temperature. So, in accordance with government advice, I must continue my self-isolation until that symptom itself goes."
