UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus and is now self isolating and working from home.

"On the advice of the chief medical officer I've taken a test and that has come out positive."
Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.
