British PM Johnson, health secretary Hancock test positive for coronavirus

英国首相约翰逊、卫生大臣汉考克的新冠病毒检测呈阳性

LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday that he has tested positive for coronavirus after experiencing "mild symptoms", becoming the first world leader to announce the infection.

伦敦：周五英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊表示，在出现“轻微症状”后，他接受了新冠病毒检测，结果为阳性，成为首位宣布感染的世界领导人。

Minutes after Johnson's announcement, his health secretary Matt Hancock tweeted that he too was infected and was in self-isolation.

在约翰逊发表声明几分钟后，英国卫生大臣马特·汉考克在推特上表示，他也感染了，目前在自我隔离。

In a video message posted on Twitter, the 55-year-old Johnson said he will continue to lead the UK government's response to the deadly virus, which has claimed 578 lives in the country.

在推特上发布的一段视频中，55岁的约翰逊表示，他将继续领导英国政府应对新冠病毒。目前，该病毒已在英国造成578人死亡。

“Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus,” Johnson said on Twitter.

约翰逊在推特上说:“在过去24小时里，我出现了轻微症状，新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性。”

“I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government's response via video-conference as we fight this virus. Together we will beat this,” he said.

“我现在正在自我隔离，但我将继续通过视频会议领导政府的抗疫行动，抗击这一病毒，我们将一起战胜病毒。”

Hancock, who is a key member of Johnson's coronavirus "War Cabinet”, said in a video message that he will be self-isolating until Thursday.

汉考克是约翰逊的新冠“战疫内阁”的关键成员，他在一段视频中表示，他将自我隔离至下周四。

“Following medical advice, I was advised to test for coronavirus. I've tested positive,” Hancock posted on Twitter.

汉考克在推特上写道：“根据医嘱，我去做了冠状病毒检测。检测结果呈阳性。”

The 41-year-old minister said: “Fortunately for me, the symptoms so far have been very mild so I've been able to carry on with the work driving forward the UK response."

这位41岁的卫生大臣表示:“对我来说幸运的是，到目前为止症状很轻微，所以我能够继续推进英国应对疫情的工作。”

The two announcements sent shockwaves across the top rung of the UK government, with most senior ministers and civil servants in and out of 10 Downing Street as they work to curb the spread of the pandemic.

两人的声明在英国政府最高层产生了冲击，多数高级部长和公务员在唐宁街10号进进出出，他们正在努力遏制疫情的蔓延。

There are more than 11,600 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK, and 578 people have died - a jump of 100 in a single day on Thursday.

英国目前的确诊病例超过11600例，死亡人数达578人，周四新增100例。

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who has previously tested negative for the deadly virus after displaying cough symptoms, will be the next in command in case Johnson has to take some time off if he gets more ill.

此前，英国外交大臣多米尼克•拉布出现咳嗽症状，检测结果呈阴性。如果约翰逊的健康状况无法继续任职，将指定外交大臣多米尼克·拉布接替其职位。

The news comes just days after it was confirmed that Prince Charles had been diagnosed with COVID-19 but was displaying similarly mild symptoms. Clarence House said the 71-year-old heir to the British throne was self-isolating in Scotland and remained in "good health" as he continued to work from home.

就在几天前，查尔斯王子确诊，症状轻微。克拉伦斯王府表示，这位71岁的英国王位继承人在苏格兰自我隔离，身体状况良好，继续在家工作。

Meanwhile, the mother of Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth II, remains in isolation in Windsor Castle and it has been confirmed that she last met Johnson for one of their regular meetings on March 11.

与此同时，查尔斯王子的母亲、英国女王伊丽莎白二世目前仍在温莎城堡隔离，据证实，她上一次与约翰逊见面是在3月11日。

While it is unconfirmed if the 93-year-old monarch has been tested so far, her aides would be relieved at her exposure now over the 14-day mark, believed to be the incubation period of the virus.

尽管目前还不能确定93岁高龄的女王是否已经接受了检测，但她已经过了14天的潜伏期，她的助手们可以松口气了。
