His office said it was not an emergency admission.
“On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests,” Downing Street said on Sunday.
“This is a precautionary step, as the Prime Minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus ten days after testing positive for the virus.”
On March 27, Johnson became the first leader of a major power to announce that he had tested positive. He went into isolation at a flat in Downing Street and said on Friday he was staying there as he still had a high temperature.
