The UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak are self-isolating after Health Secretary Sajid Javid tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus.

The ministers were initially planning to take daily tests rather than self-isolate following meetings last week with Javid, but subsequently dropped the plan after a furious political backlash.
