He is due to emerge today.

But yesterday his spokesman said the leader was still displaying “mild symptoms”.

He said Mr Johnson, 55, would follow Public Health England guidelines — meaning he will remain in self-isolation if he still has a temperature.

The PM has continued to coordinate the Government’s response to the virus — chairing meetings via videolink from a study below his flat.

He was last seen filming a Twitter video message on Wednesday night.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock, 41, ended a week-long self-isolation yesterday.

He had tested positive a day before Mr Johnson.
