British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s pregnant partner Carrie Symonds has sensationally revealed that she had spent the last week with ‘symptoms’ of coronavirus. Earlier Johnson had tested positive for coronavirus.
In a series of tweets, Symonds said, “I’ve spent the past week in bed with the main symptoms of Coronavirus. I haven’t needed to be tested and, after seven days of rest, I feel stronger and I’m on the mend.”
