UK Health Minister Nadine Dorries test positive for Coronavirus

British Minister in the Health Department Nadine Dorries has tested positive for Corona virus. In a statement issued yesterday, the Conservative MP said that she has tested positive for Corona virus and has been self-isolating at home. Health officials are now trying to trace where she contracted the virus and who she has been in contact with, she added.

Ms Dorries, who helped craft the legislation



to fight the bug, is the first British politician to be diagnosed with COVID-19, raising immediate concern about whether she has spread the infection. The shock news is likely to increase calls to suspend Parliament, despite the government's reluctance to do so in the middle of a health crisis. Six people have died in Britain from the virus, with 373 confirmed cases.
