UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Tests Positive for COVID-19
Coronavirus once again proves that it does not discriminate against anyone based on race or class. No one is safe from Coronavirus, not even the prime minister of the world's sixth-largest economy.
On Friday, March 27, 2020, Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, tweeted a video message and revealed that he is tested positive for coronavirus.
In the two minute video, the 55-year old informed that he started developing mild symptoms such as cold and cough on Thursday. Furthermore, his Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty advised him to take the test, and it came positive.
Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.

The former Mayor of London also mentioned that though he is self-isolating at his residence, he will continue to work and govern the country with the help of "the wizardry of modern technology."
In the video, Johnson also thanked the staff of the National Health Service(NHS), who are fighting against the disease and saving lives. Also, he showed gratitude to all the policemen, volunteers, and members of the society who are helping to keep the country move.
Johnson, who is also the leader of the Conservative Party, reassured all the citizens of the UK that they would win this war against novel coronavirus. He, nonetheless, reminded that the win is only possible when people comply with the guidelines provided by the health officials.
