As we insist of self-isolation, various personalities have also been tested positive for COVID – 19 too. With the latest being Prince Charles of the Royal Family from the United Kingdom, yet another joins the list. It is none other than UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The news has sent shock waves across the country. The Prime Minister got himself into self-isolation after he developed mild symptoms. “Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus. I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus,” he tweeted.

Prince Charles had also earlier developed mild symptoms of COVID-19 and so did environmental activist Greta Thunberg. They have both been quarantined and are constantly being looked after.
American star Tom Hanks and his wife Rita had only recently been cured of the deadly virus. The couple caught the virus while in Australia and were quarantined there. They are now safe and sound but are remaining in self-isolation for now. Actor Idris Elba has also caught the virus and is steadily recovering.
