British PM Johnson has coronavirus, self-isolates in Downing Street

Has British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who tested positive for coronavirus, been social distancing?

Johnson chaired a government meeting on the coronavirus on Friday morning via teleconference.

But Johnson imposed stringent controls after projections showed a quarter of a million people could die. On Monday, he banned Britons from leaving their homes for all non-essential reasons, effectively shutting down large parts of the economy. Johnson last appeared at a news conference on Wednesday, flanked by the government’s chief scientific adviser, Patrick Vallance, and England’s Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty. The event was closed, with journalists asking questions by video link.

“The doors between Number 10 and Number 11 have been closed off to all other staff who work in the building,” a Downing Street spokesman said.
