The British government initially announced on the 18th that Johnson and others will participate in a pilot program that allows senior civil servants to be exempt from isolation and continue to work. The opposition parties, commercial organizations and the public have reacted strongly, believing that this “privilege” plan is not treated equally and is a “bad way of governing.” In less than 3 hours, the British government withdrew its decision.

Johnson has received two doses of the new crown vaccine. He will be quarantined at the Chequers Villa, the prime minister’s country residence, until the 26th.
