PM advisor runs out of No 10 after PM tests positive

(27 Mar 2020) Boris Johnson's top advisor Dominic Cummings on Friday was seen leaving 10 Downing Street - home of the UK Prime Minister - amid the announcement that the PM had tested positive for the new coronavirus.
Johnson confirmed he had been tested on the advice of the chief medical officer after showing “mild symptoms” involving a temperature and a persistent cough.
The government said that if Johnson was unable to work, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab would replace him.
Johnson has met in person with some senior ministers and officials this week, and has appeared at press conferences alongside his top medical and scientific advisors.
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock also tested positive on Friday.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.
For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
