U.K. Health Secretary Sajid Javid tested positive for Covid-19 on the cusp of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government lifting remaining virus restrictions for England.
In a video posted on his Twitter feed, Javid said he was feeling “a bit groggy” on Friday night and took a lateral flow test Saturday morning that gave a positive result. A PCR test later confirmed it.
Johnson and Javid met Friday as the reopening approached, said a person familiar with the matter. That could see the premier and any other aides who attended forced to spend Monday, which Johnson has dubbed “Freedom Day,” in self-isolation based on current health guidelines.
