HEALTH Secretary and Bromsgrove MP Sajid Javid is self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19. In a statement posted on Twitter, Mr Javid said he was awaiting the result of a full PCR test and had only mild symptoms.
“This morning I tested positive for Covid. I’m waiting for my PCR result, but thankfully I have had my jabs and symptoms are mild,” he said.
“Please make sure you come forward for your vaccine if you haven’t already.”
The Health Secretary’s announcement comes as the Government prepares to go ahead with the final lifting of lockdown restrictions in England on Monday, despite the misgivings of some scientists.
Number of Worcestershire Covid Cases currently rising rapidly.
