The PM is now self-isolating at 10 Downing Street.
Hi folks, I want to bring you up to speed with something that’s happening today, which is that I’ve developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus—that’s to say a temperature and a persistent cough—and on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer, I have taken a test that has come out positive. So I am working from home, I’m self-isolating, and that’s entirely the right thing to do.
I want to thank everyone who’s involved. I want to thank, of course above all, our amazing NHS staff. It was very moving last night to join in that national clap for the NHS. But it’s not just the NHS: It’s our police; our social care workers; our teachers; everybody who works in schools; the DWP staff. An amazing national effort by the public services but also by every member of the public who’s volunteering.
I want to thank you. I want to thank everybody who’s working to keep our country going through this epidemic. We will get through it, and the way we’re going to get through it is, of course, by applying the measures that you’ll have heard so much about. The more effectively we all comply with those measures, the faster our country will come through this epidemic and the faster we’ll bounce back.
Thank you to everybody who’s doing what I’m doing: working from home to stop the spread of the virus from household to household. That’s the way we’re going to win. We’re going to beat it, and we’re going to beat it together. Stay at home, protect the NHS, and save lives.
