UK Health minister and Conservative MP Nadine Dorries says she has been diagnosed with coronavirus,” the BBC reports.
“Ms Dorries, the first MP to test positive, said she had taken all the advised precautions after finding out and had been self-isolating at home.”
She replied to the news on Twitter:
Thanks for so many good wishes. It’s been pretty rubbish but I hope I’m over the worst of it now. More worried about my 84yo mum who is staying with me and began with the cough today. She is being tested tomorrow. Keep safe and keep washing those hands, everyone.
