British Prime Minister has been admitted to hospital “for tests” after suffering from COVID-19 for over a week without improvement in his symptoms.
He was taken to a London hospital on Sunday evening with "persistent symptoms" - including a temperature.
It is said to be a "precautionary step" taken on the advice of his doctor.
The prime minister remains in charge of the government, but the foreign secretary is expected to chair a coronavirus meeting on Monday morning.
Mr Johnson is expected to stay overnight and is having what have been described as "routine tests", according to BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.
He was taken to hospital around the same time that the Queen’s message to the nation was broadcast. This is only the fourth time in her reign that a special message has been broadcast.
