He had deputised for Boris Johnson earlier this year when the U.K. Prime Minister was in intensive care following his positive test. U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is self-isolating after coming into close contact with someone who later tested positive for the coronavirus. The Foreign Secretary was today informed that an individual with whom he has been in recent close contact has tested positive for coronavirus, said a foreign office spokesperson. In line with government regulations and NHS (National Health Service) Track and Trace rules, the Foreign Secretary has taken immediate steps to self-isolate for the required period. It came at a time when U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock also tested positive for the coronavirus and so did Prince Charles, and they both went into self-isolations with symptoms.
