London — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will self-quarantine for 10 days after contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus.

Johnson’s office initially said the prime minister would be tested for coronavirus daily as part of a pilot project. The same is true for Treasury Secretary Rishi Sunak, who was contacted. However, Johnson’s office said after the protest, both men were self-quarantined and “not participating in the test pilot.”
