[Global Times reporter Sun Wei Li Meng] British Prime Minister Johnson, who was deeply involved in the "partygate" scandal, was hit hard again.
The British "Daily Mail" broke the news on the 20th that Johnson's youngest daughter was diagnosed with the new crown virus last week, and the situation is "very serious".
It is worth noting that Johnson just announced on the 19th that the new crown restrictions in Plan B will be lifted next week, and he is considered to be ready to "lie down".
10 Downing Street announced last week that a member of Johnson's family had tested positive for the virus and said Johnson had been in close contact with the "relative", but did not say who the person was.
The source said the infected person was Johnson's youngest daughter Romy.
Romi was only five weeks old when he contracted the virus and was said to be in "very serious" condition.
For now, the situation is "getting better".
A 10 Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister would follow the guidelines for vaccinated close contacts, conduct daily nucleic acid testing and limit contact with others.
Johnson, however, will continue to hold meetings "mostly by video".
British media said that Johnson did not appear in public for days after the Prime Minister's Office announced the news, and last week canceled a planned visit to Lancashire until Tuesday when he spoke to Sky News about "Partygate". Just showed up again.
According to the media, he was not in a good mood at the time and was a little depressed, possibly due to family pressure.
According to the "Daily Mail" report on the 20th, Romy was born on December 9 last year at University College Hospital in London and now lives with the Johnsons and her 20-month-old brother Wilfred in a building at 11 Downing Street. in the apartment.
In March 2020, Johnson was infected in the first wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, when he was in a severe condition and was on a ventilator.
At almost the same time, his pregnant wife Kelly also developed "the main symptoms of infection with the new crown", but instead of going to the hospital, she gave birth to her son Wilfred after recovering at home.
Unexpectedly, the newborn daughter was also infected with the new crown virus.
While children infected with the virus are usually much less affected than adults, it remains to be seen whether the new crown infection poses a danger for very young infants.
In its guidance on Covid-19 in babies, the NHS said: "Newborns are not at high risk of contracting the virus, but it is important to pay close attention to hygiene, especially family members who live with the baby. Anyone entering the home Everyone should take standard hygiene precautions, including hand washing, and handle with care if your baby shows symptoms of any illness, including COVID-19."
Johnson and Kelly have been in a relationship since 2018.
In February 2020, they announced their engagement and will have a child, and in April 2020, the couple welcomed their first child, Wilfred, a year later, at Westminster Abbey. Secret wedding.
Johnson also became the first British prime minister to marry while in office in nearly 200 years.
Before Romi was born, Kelly was heartbroken when she miscarried a child in 2021.
Kelly has since become pregnant with Romi, announcing the news that she and her husband "hope to have our rainbow baby at Christmas".
A rainbow baby is a child born in a family with a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.
Before marrying Kelly, Johnson had two marriages, four public children, and one child born of an extramarital affair.
