Colleagues and opponents wish PM 'speedy recovery'published at 12:16 Greenwich Mean Time 27 March 2020
Westminster is reacting to the news that Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus.
Former Tory Cabinet minister Mel Stride says the PM has done the "right thing" to self-isolate and it is clear he "is very much still in charge" of the government and its coronavirus response.
Acting Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has wished the PM a "full and speedy recovery" and said his thoughts were also with his fiancée Carrie Symonds, who is expecting their first child.
James Forsyth, the political editor of the Spectator, says while the PM will not be able to "go to work as usual", he will still be able to lead the government using technology - pointing out that Mr Johnson chaired a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday using the Zoom conferencing tool.
However, he says the PM has had close contact with other key figures in the government, including the chancellor and health secretary, in recent days and there are concerns about what will happen if the infection spreads more widely in Whitehall.
