Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who tested positive for the new coronavirus ten days ago, was hospitalized on Sunday for further tests, his services said, adding that it was a "precautionary measure". "On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister was admitted to the hospital for examinations this evening," Downing Street said in a statement.

"This is a precautionary measure because the Prime Minister continues to show persistent symptoms of the coronavirus, ten days after having tested positive," added the press release.

Boris Johnson, 55, announced Friday that he is extending the quarantine he sees beyond the seven days recommended by British health officials because he continues to have a fever, one of the symptoms of the disease.

"If I feel better (...) I always have one of the symptoms", "I always have the temperature", "I must continue my forties", he said in a short video on Twitter , where he appeared a little haggard.

The head of government said he continued to work from his apartments on Downing Street.
