Confirming the news on Twitter, Professor Neil Ferguson said that coronavirus is rife in Westminster.
Ferguson, the director of J-IDEA and the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, posted on Wednesday: “Developed a slight dry but persistent cough yesterday and self isolated even though I felt fine. Then developed high fever at 4am today.”
“There is a lot of Covid-19 in Westminster,” he added.
