Johnson’s office said on Sunday that both the prime minister and finance minister, Rishi Sunak, had received alerts for testing and tracking phone apps in England overnight. On Friday, he met with Health Minister Sajid Javid, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday. Javid, who has been fully vaccinated, said he has mild symptoms.

People who receive notifications through the app should self-quarantine, although this is not a legal requirement. It is generally recommended that contacts of positive cases self-isolate for 10 days.

Johnson’s office initially stated that the Prime Minister and Sunak will instead conduct a daily coronavirus test as part of an alternative system that is being piloted in some workplaces, including government offices.

After voters, political opponents and business owners strongly protested the apparent special treatment of politicians, the plan was cancelled less than three hours later. Downing Street stated that Johnson will self-isolate at Chequers, the prime minister’s country house in northwest London, and “will not participate in the test flight”. It said Sunak would also self-isolate.

Johnson was seriously ill with COVID-19 in April 2020 and spent three nights in the intensive care unit.

He was isolated as his government prepared to lift the remaining blockade measures on Monday. Nightclubs in England can reopen for the first time since March 2020, sports and entertainment venues can accommodate large numbers of people, and it is no longer mandatory to wear masks indoors.

But the government urges people to be cautious because of the surge in cases due to the highly contagious delta variant of the virus first discovered in India. Over 54,000 new infections were confirmed on Saturday, which is the highest number of daily infections since January. The number of hospitalizations and deaths is also on the rise, but due to vaccination, it is still far below the previous peak of infection. More than two-thirds of British adults have received both vaccines.

British officials are looking nervously at Israel and the Netherlands, both of which have opened up their societies after vaccinating the majority of the population. Following the surge in new infections, both countries have recently re-implemented some restrictions.
