LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson still has a fever and will remain in isolation.

Johnson tested positive for the new coronavirus on March 26 and spent seven days in quarantine as recommended by U.K. health officials.

Johnson said Friday that although he is “feeling better,” he still has a fever and is following guidance to stay in isolation until his temperature has returned to normal.

Johnson in a video message warned people not to break the national lockdown on what is expected to be a warm, sunny weekend across much of the U.K.

He acknowledged people may be bored but urged Britons not to flout rules against gathering in groups of more than two people who don’t live together.

Johnson said “this country has made a huge effort, a huge sacrifice” and people should continue to follow the rules in order to save lives.

    Of all the people who cosmic justice suggests should die a painful death of Covid-19 Mr. “sorry, not gonna work with the EU, we are going to do heard immunity” BloJo is high on the list.

    Also the Daufine Kushie, who is at fault for a lot of Trump’s failures on Covid-19 response (as the only person who Trump evidently listened to, more more accurately the last person Trump listened to) is raising higher by the day…

  3. If COVID-19 takes BoJo, it would just be a new twist in the Brexit saga. Perhaps then the British public can hold a referendum to cancel that ridiculous decision.
