CMO Chris Whitty self-isolates with coronavirus symptoms after PM tests positive
It's understood she left No11 a couple of days ago - and is thought to be in the couple's Camberwell flat.
At the moment the PM will continue to work, but it may mean that Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, will have to take over duties if the PM becomes more ill. The news comes just weeks after Boris said that he was continuing to shake hands with everyone, despite the risk of the virus spreading. "Coronavirus can and does affect anyone. Everyone be safe. Our own health depends on everybody else."
Chancellor Rishi Sunak, seen with the PM outside No10 last night, has shown no signs of the bug and is not isolating.
