Boris Johnson's pregnant fiancee said she has been suffering with coronavirus symptoms.
Carrie Symonds said she has spent the past week in bed with tell-tale signs of Covid-19, but is now recuperating well.
She said: “I haven’t needed to be tested and, after seven days of rest, I feel stronger and I’m on the mend.”
In a separate tweet, Ms Symonds continued: “Being pregnant with Covid-19 is obviously worrying.
"To other pregnant women, please do read and follow the most up to date guidance which I found to be v reassuring.”
Health minister Nadine Dorries, who was the first MP to be diagnosed with coronavirus, tweeted:
“I’ve been speaking to @carriesymonds regularly throughout. She presented with and has been through the classic signs and symptoms most people experience with #COVID19 She is now recovering and getting stronger day by day. #InThisTogether”
Prime Minster Boris Johnson confirmed last week he had been struck down by the virus.
He was due to end isolation this week but said yesterday he was still suffering a fever.
