British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was confirmed positive on nCoV on March 27. He has mild symptoms and is quarantining himself at the office in Downing Street. Crown Prince Charles, British Health Minister Matt Hancock and British Deputy Minister of Health Nadine Dorries were also infected.

In a letter scheduled to be sent to 30 million British households next week, Prime Minister Johnson called on everyone to stay home "to protect the British National Health Service (NHS) and preserve lives".

He also suggested that people obey the rules to prevent nCoV from spreading, such as not leaving the house when not needed, keeping a distance of 2 m, and warning about penalties for breaking orders.
