Health Secretary Sajid Javid is self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Mr Javid said he was awaiting the result of a full PCR test and had only mild symptoms.


“This morning I tested positive for Covid. I’m waiting for my PCR result, but thankfully I have had my jabs and symptoms are mild,” he said.

“Please make sure you come forward for your vaccine if you haven’t already.”
