Премьер Великобритании Борис Джонсон заразился коронавирусом. Об этом он рассказал в видео в своем Твитере. На данный момент он страдает от достаточно лёгких симптомов, что позволяет ему продолжать руководить работой правительства дистанционно, используя видеосвязь и другие современные технические средства.
Борис Джонсон самоизолировался в своей резиденции на Даунинг-стрит 10.
Не сообщается, проживает ли с ним в настоящее время его невеста, ожидающая ребёнка. Беременным женщинам рекомендуется быть особенно осторожными.
Hi, folks I want to bring you up to speed on something that is happening today
Which is that I have developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus, that’s to say a temperature and a persistent cough. And on the advice of the chief medical officer I’ve taken a test that has come out 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.
People should "be in no doubt that I can continue thanks to the wizardry of modern technology to communicate with all my top team to lead the national fightback against coronavirus".
Together we will beat this.
"So thank you to everybody who's doing what I'm doing, working from home to stop the spread of the virus from household to household," he added.
"That's the way we're going to win."
It is not known whether Mr Johnson will still be living with his fiancee Carrie Symonds, who is several months pregnant.
Pregnant women are advised to be particularly careful when following social distancing advice, and minimise social contact for up to 12 weeks.
