Prime Minister Boris Johnson tests positive again for Covid19

THE Prime Minister has again tested positive after a 35 minutes meeting with Ashfield MP, Lee Anderson, on Thursday, 12 November 2020. Lee Anderson since the meeting tested positive and Mr. Johnson was later contacted by NHS Test and Trace, on Sunday, 15 November 2020, and tested. As a result, the PM is now self-isolating again, but not showing symptoms. Following the departure of 2 of Mr. Johnson's top aides amid an internal power struggle, this could not come at a worse time. The issues coursed by the Pandemic are still overshadowing the fact Brexit is looming without a deal, and with the clock ticking on having to decide what happens when England's 2nd Lockdown, on 2 December 2020, this is bad news. Not only that, but Mr. Johnson also has an upcoming spending review with an aim to fulfil his promise to:- "build back better..." Plus, a host of other key Covid19 meetings, looking at vaccines and working out other:- "critical announcements," as Christmas approaches. Plus this latest news will also likely shake up the financial markets yet again, making things even more complex. Downing Street definitely now has its work cut out, especially that as Mr. Johnson was extremely ill with Coronavirus earlier in the year and we do not know what getting the virus does for a person's immunity, we are told that conversations are now taking place with the parliamentary authorities to see what can be done if the worse case happens. A spokesperson at Number 10 has said to the media that:- "Boris Johnson will now have to stay at home in No 10 and he will not be able to be in Parliament. But he is going to be working from Downing Street and still intends to keep communicating with the country." Boris Johnson has Tweeted:- "Today I was notified by NHS Test and Trace that I must self-isolate as I have been in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. I have no symptoms, but am following the rules and will be working from No10 as I continue to lead the Government’s pandemic response." But an interesting question has been raised by Sefton MP, Bill Esterson, who has also tweeted, saying:- "Johnson says the rules are the rules and he has to self isolate. So why did he break the rules and hold a face to face meeting where he was in contact with someone who was infected? Yet again the Prime Minister undermines public trust in the measures needed to reduce infection."
