Boris Johnson looks sick as he announces 'I must continue my self-isolation' in message to UK

Boris Johnson has announced he must continue to self-isolate as he is still suffering symptoms from coronavirus.

The Prime Minister was diagnosed with the deadly virus last week and looked unwell as he delivered the message.

Posting a video on Twitter he said: "Although I'm feeling better and I've done my seven days of isolation, alas I still have one of the symptoms, a minor symptom.

"I still have a temperature and so, in accordance with government advice, I must continue my self-isolation until that symptom itself goes."

He also encouraged people to stay at home regardless of the good weather which is forecast for the UK this weekend.

He continued: "I just want to say one crucial thing, one quick thing to everybody thinking about this weekend and what may be some fine weather."

"Because I reckon a lot of people will be starting to think that this is all going on for quite a long time, and they'd rather be getting out there and, particularly if they've got kids in the household, everybody may be getting a bit stir crazy.

"And there may be just a temptation to get out there, hang out and start to break the regulations.

"And I just urge you not to do that. Please, please stick with the guidance now.

"This country has made a huge effort, a huge sacrifice, done absolutely brilliantly well in delaying the spread of the virus.

"Let's stick with it now."
