Boris Johnson in quarantine again, but as fit as ‘a butcher’s dog’ | Abroad

According to a statement from 10 Downing Street, he will “continue to work in his official residence, including leading the government response to the corona pandemic.” Everything is fine with the prime minister, according to the statement, and he has no symptoms.

Johnson posted a video on Twitter Monday morning in which he stated that he was as fit as ‘a butchers dog’.

“It doesn’t matter if I feel good, better than ever, or if my body is full of antibodies because I’ve already had that damn thing,” he said. “But the rules are the rules and they are there to stop the spread of the disease.”

Last June, Johnson also stated – freely translated – that he felt as fit as a fiddle and he illustrated this with a few push-ups in his office. Johnson was in intensive care for some time in April after he became infected with the corona virus.

Meeting

Johnson had a meeting with a group of MPs on Thursday. One of them, Lee Anderson from Johnson’s Conservative party, later tested positive for the coronavirus.

Johnson announced at the end of March that he had become infected with the virus. He was hospitalized in April and was treated in the intensive care unit for three days. He was released from hospital in mid-April and recovered at home.
