There were growing questions and anger within the Opposition party ranks on Saturday over UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to not self-isolate following an aide’s positive COVID-19 test. Downing Street said the UK Prime Minister will not follow the government's 10-day quarantine guidance for people who come in close contact with someone who goes on to test positive for COVID-19 after a staffer’s positive test following a visit to Scotland. The visit, earlier this week, is said to have been carried out in line with COVID protocols, and it is also claimed that Johnson has not been in close contact with the positive case. However, according to the ‘Guardian’, a senior government source told the newspaper that Johnson and the official in question were “side-by-side” on several occasions.
