If today is the first day of his symptoms how could they? Just speculation on my part, but it would explain.

i thought symptoms could start pretty early after infection. 2 or 3 days would be the normal. 7 Days is the typical maximum length of time before symptoms would appear

On the Who site it says an average of 5

The incubation period for COVID-19, which is the time between exposure to the virus (becoming infected) and symptom onset, is on average 5-6 days, however can be up to 14 days. During this period, also known as the “pre-symptomatic” period, some infected persons can be contagious. Therefore, transmission from a pre-symptomatic case can occur before symptom onset.


It would be very bad luck to turn up at work on Monday and get it first day back ..I hope he is okay

I guess the worry would be that he could have now infected other MPs newly returned to the Commons. Presumably under track and trace guidelines there will be at least some other cabinet members and MPs who will have to self isolate if he does test positive

yep, they can't expect the public to follow the track and trace guidelines if they don't do it themselves. Also, there is no confirmation yet that you can't get re-infected so all present at that cabinet meeting should also self isolate.

It's my impression that the government have become quite blase about covid and I think them patting themselves on the back for their response is in poor taste if it's true or not with 50k people dead
