UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus, Downing Street has said.
Mr Johnson has mild symptoms and will self-isolate in Downing Street.
"He was tested for coronavirus on the personal advice of England's chief medical officer, Professor Chris Whitty," a statement said.
He will still be in charge of the government's handling of the crisis, the statement added.
The test was carried out at Number 10 by NHS staff.
In a tweet, Mr Johnson said: "Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus. I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government's response via video-conference as we fight this virus.
"Together we will beat this."
Mr Johnson was last seen on Thursday night, as he clapped outside No 10 as part of a nationwide gesture to thank NHS staff.
There are more than 11,600 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK, and 578 people have died. (BBC)

Bravo! Please deport him from UK and quarantine him in the White House so that TweedleDUMB and TweedleRACIST can both visit HELL before the year ends.
