Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK), has tested positive for Covid-19.
The BBC reported that according to a statement from Number 10 Downing Street, Johnson is experiencing "mild symptoms".
He will self-isolate within Number 10, the office and residence of the UK Prime Minister.
However, he will still be in charge of the UK's handling of the Covid-19 crisis.
In his latest tweet, Johnson said he will be "working from home" and that it was entirely the right thing to do.
Johnson recently announced a three-week lockdown in the UK to help contain the spread of the virus.
Previously, the British government advocated building up a "herd immunity" within the UK, but Johnson abandoned this approach when the evidence showed that this would overwhelm the UK's healthcare services.
