Health minister Nadine Dorries has been Diagnosed with the new coronavirus

Health-minister Nadine Dorries has revealed she is self-isolating after being diagnosed with coronavirus, just days after she attended a reception @ No 10 with Boris Johnson.

The UnderSecretary of State for Health, who has met hundreds of people in Parliament over the pastweek and held a surgery on Saturday for 50 of her constituents, fell ill last Friday. 

Testsconfirmed last night that the 62-year-old had the virus and she is now in isolation and said to be recovering.

But the MP has now voicedfears for her 84-year- oldmother, who is living at her home and ‘began coughing’ yesterday. 

Officials are tracing everyone she has been in contact with since contracting the virus, including MPs. As a former nurse, Mrs Dorries has played a key role in drawing up plans to tackle the virus.

She met hundreds of people last week, including a large number of MPs, and attended a conference outside Westminster. On Thursday she attended a Downing Street event hosted by Mr Johnson to mark International Women’s Day.

She started feeling ill on Friday as she was signing a statutory instrument that declared-coronavirus to be a ‘notifiable disease’, enablingcompanies to obtain insurance cover.

The healthminister held the surgery in her Mid Bedfordshire constituency on Saturday.

Over the weekend she experienced the ‘classic symptoms’ of the disease – a dry cough, high temperature and ‘vice-like’ pain in her chest.
