Mr Gove is senior cabinet minister
Boris Johnson is continuing to work in No 10 after his diagnosis, although the BBC understands that his Downing Street flat has been “sealed off”.
A No 10 spokesman said the PM’s meals and work documents would be left outside his door.
It is understood his fiancee Carrie Symonds, who is pregnant, is self-isolating elsewhere, although No 10 has not given any details about where she is.
Other people working in Downing Street are also now self-isolating.
Mr Johnson will not be appearing at this afternoon’s daily coronavirus briefing. It is understood that senior Cabinet minister Michael Gove will be taking his place. (BBC)
