Boris Johnson: British Prime Minister's corona test is positive

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (55, "The Dream of Rome") has the corona virus. Johnson reports this himself on Twitter. The politician had been tested positive for the virus. He suffers from mild symptoms and wants to continue to take care of government affairs in self-isolation from his home office.

It is a good thing that Queen Elizabeth II (93) is currently at Windsor Castle in order to prevent possible infection with the virus there. The palace has just shared pictures of a phone conversation between the Queen and Johnson on Instagram. It said: "The Queen held her weekly audience with the Prime Minister by phone. Her Majesty – pictured at Windsor Castle this evening – held an audience with her Prime Minister weekly throughout her reign."

Prince Charles (71), heir to the throne and son of the Queen, was also recently tested positive for the corona virus. He is currently at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The Royal is said to have suffered from mild symptoms, but was otherwise "in good health", as a spokesman confirmed. The test of his wife, Duchess Camilla (72), was negative.
