British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital ten days after testing positive for coronavirus.
According to an announcement from Downing Street on Sunday night, the Prime Minister, who is still suffering from symptoms of the disease, will undergo tests as a precaution.
A spokesperson said: ‘On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests
‘This is a precautionary step, as the Prime Minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus ten days after testing positive for the virus.
