Health minister Nadine Dorries has tested positive for coronavirus, becoming the first MP in the UK to be diagnosed with COVID19

She added in a tweet:"It's been pretty rubbish but I hope I'm over the worst of it now. More worried about my 84yo mum who is staying with me and began with the cough today. She is being tested tomorrow."Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was"really sorry" to hear the news but that"she has done the right thing by self-isolating at home"."I understand why people are worried about this disease.

Officials have begun the process of getting in touch with everyone Ms Dorries has come into contact with since displaying symptoms. A Government source said officials and MPs should continue to go to work in Whitehall and Parliament unless told otherwise. After Ms Dorries' diagnosis, a Parliament spokesman said there were still no plans to suspend Parliament to prevent the spread of the virus.

My sympathies for the Corona virus.

You just couldn't make it up

How ironic 😂

Speedy recovery to Nadine Dorries

Best news all day

There are some VERY sick people on this tweet. Let's hope they and their families stay safe.

Boris next pls.

You couldn't make it up

This has to be a set up. In order to stop the UK panicking, let's say an MP has it and has fully recovered.....

Yet again all the spite and nastiness comes from the left. Thank goodness they are not in power!

Must be a vicious bug to tackle her

Hoisted by her own petard!!! Boris immediately phoned for a test kit.....!

For those who are calling people disguising individuals... hang on here! She will still get paid, treated in a private hospital and not see the impact or struggle on the NHS! I'm sure she will be just fine!

Wishing her a speedy recovery

Quite shocking at KayBurley behaviour while interviewing JustineGreening Utterly rude and unprofessional, screaming at cabinet ministers while JG is in the middle of answering questions. amateur noclass

Please PLEASE make Johnson have covid19!!!! 😂

They want do anything anyway

Well thats precisely the reason why schools are still open and GPs are closed. She wants everybody to get infected

LOCK DOWN UK FOR A MONTH LET EVERYONE STAY INDOOR JUST FOR 20 DAYS...... lockdown CoronaVirusUpdate coronavirusinuk coronavirus

Oh the irony

Lol so much for washing your fucking hands

It does seem a little convenient. Odds on parliament closed shortly?

So why did she go to a reception with the PM on the day she felt ill? Something everyone has been told very clearly not to do!

why was she tested had she been to one of the affected countries because not even key workers get tested if they don't fit the criteria. Spain have a test kit for anyone who wants itskygillian

They may have to close down parliament . . . . Question is : Would anyone notice ?

Get well soon and all the best nursing your dear Mom.

So either our minister for health doesn't wash her hands or we're being lied to

They really need to close the house of lords down for a few weeks.

Now it’s affecting tories I await a swift response... when it’s just the plebs we can take it on the chin...

Quick recovery

The same thing happened in Iran and the West where mocking little did they know

Tested negative for a soul.

Parliament looks really interested in coronavirus

topbin_football...

W1ade

The child at No 10

Should have stayed away as soon as the symptoms started. Now all the res will have to looked at to check they don't have the virus. Stupid woman.

Should of washed her hands

apoliticalgal Fake news

DiMarco_Pattaya Taking it on the chin I presume.

She tested so she can tell us .....

Boris next?

I hope she’s passed it onto her Tory colleagues 🤞🤞

Hopefully it hitting so close to home will spur the government into action

Who would have thought that this piece of work could take down the government,might even put up a statue of her

Blame Boris he stated on TV he'd shaken hands with Covid-19 patients in Hospital

so how did she catch it and where

The replies to this article are, quite frankly, disgusting. It demonstrates clearly, how identity politics have lowered the bar, and affected the UK's ability to pull together in the right direction.

Once a Tory always a Tory wonder if sheez goin private

4 days ago PM says HoC might close, but Chris Witty says “not necessary”. TODAY - Boris’s maj drops 80 to 24 (Tory MPs revolt over Huawei). Italy shuts Lower House over virus fears. Then N Dorries MP says she’s tested positive. So ... Budget tomorrow, close HoC on Thurs night?

alicext1 Is no one gonna acknowledge the irony here? 😂

😳😳😳

RIP to her....

Anyone is could easily get the coronavirus at any given moment or time in their life's . It's not a laughing matter and don't understand why trolls are making jokes about the virus. Enough already it isn't funny . It's a twisted and sick minded thing to do . Just stop it now .😠

omg..

It's like raaaaaainnnnn on your wedding day 😂😂😂

She attended a gathering at no.10 knowing she felt ill. She tested positive today which means she had test 3 days ago. The leader of the countries wife is pregnant and probably all top cabinet was there. Why would she go?!

AVFCTransTweet

A speedy recovery one hopes for the Health Minister. Same goes for anyone contacting this contagious virus.

Can’t she just take it on the chin and wash her hands while singing the national anthem though? COVID2019uk

And where did she get it from?

Couldn't have been attracted to a nastier person!

Oh the irony but it leads to the question that should be asked is why is this not being taken serious enough it’s confirmed she was unwell and obviously ignored the symptoms we need these idiots in charge to offer and deliver much better direction doing nothing will bite us hard

And que the comments from evil people who laugh at the irony...

WTF?

Filthy thing

Suzannah_Baron ND said she startes to show symptoms of Coronavirus last Friday and today she says she's on the mend. That's a quick recovery period then?

🤯🤯🤯

You did don’t you 😬

Chin chin

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of liars

Do us a favour nadine go and have tea with corbyn

What does happen if half the MP’S go down with COVID2019, is there a protocol? ToryCoup Does Labour step up, or the Queen?

Thoughts and prayers 😏🤷‍♀️

Monday Club on a Wednesday

????????

Wash your hands you dirty tory

Boris Johnson really will do anything for two weeks off

Should of washed her hands

Absolutely tweet of the night haha.

Does this mean she’s got it?

My God bless u poor lady with lots of love

There are so many nasty evil people on twitter who think they're funny. No humanity. I hope NadineDorries makes a quick and full recovery.

Now watch all the politicians take an interest!!

People gloating over people getting ill can get to fuck

Some cheap comments on here - totally against her politics but she’s a human being. All the best to her for a speedy and full recovery.

Where has she been that she qualifies for a test? Serious question. Anyone displaying symptoms but not having travelled to listed areas does not get tested, regardless of symptoms. So, where's she been?

i cant stand the tories but get well soon Nadine

wishing her a complete quick recovery

Poor lady. That's very bad news but I hope she'll be ok.

MrJohnNicolson One job.... one fking job...

DOH!!!!!!

Cant help feeling the govt strategy has lost a bit of credibility here .

How Coronavirus tests positive for Nadine Dorries how bullocks I don’t believe she got other reasons she’s pulling the card but definitely not got corona

dearbhaiiile I’m curious, how did she get a test? NHS guidance is if you have symptoms but haven’t been abroad or been in touch with a confirmed case, you should go about your business. How ill is she?

MikeStuchbery_ Photo taken at the moment she was told the diagnosis

'As soon as I was informed I took all the advised precautions and have been self-isolating at home.” Isn’t the official advice to self isolate *as soon as* you feel any illness and not wait until you have tested positive?

subgap

At a reception with the PM. Oh yessss.

Apparently BeKind and a ‘kinder politics’ is ubject to T&Cs. Shame on all who can’t just show sympathy for a fellow human being who has contracted a virus that everyone is in fear of. Say something nice and supportive for her family or don’t say anything at all

Damn, it's jumped species!

I wish her a speedy recovery. Will BoJo now act.

Saw her trending and thought she'd said some other stupid thing but this made me actually laugh out loud

Lovely stuff.

On the chin

takeitonthechin Nadine 👍🏻

Sorry & I know the new right will get upset by this, but I call BS. All through this it has been a case of nothing to worry about, it all blow over after a bit of a cold for 80% of you🤔. No doubt Nadine will recover in record time, with no adverse reaction. More propaganda 🐂💩

Is it actually true though

lyntonvilla Whoops

Well if she has it......who else in the Government has she given it too?

Rip

Typical a caring Tory get it first...please get well soon Nadine, people like you are needed. No comfort but your plight will focus the need for more urgency.

😅 dystopian shit 🥴

They need us more than we need th... oh wait that’s another topic.

She'll once again get to see how hard the NHS medical staff work.

Que shutting down the parliament...

About as helpful as 'wash your hands' weredoomed coronavirus

AstonKimberley AidenUK10

Don’t look back in anger

Thoughts and prayers

Take it on the chin

If she's caught it through work, tip your hat to her and not Boris, for putting herself at risk. Not pretending to shake their hand. If it's not work related, then I wish her a fast and healthy recovery. This is politics aside.

Blimey, it'll be all over parliament. MPs and journos will have been in contact. It could be really serious for any elderly MPs.

Sympathy to Coronavirus.

Hope she “takes it on the chin” 😂😂

Coronavirus. You’re so lovely. You don’t discriminate and you are for the rich and poor.

Health Minister 🤷‍♂️

Just wash your hands you silly woman

Wish her well in her recovery take care Nadine..

sweet ! blame boris

Oh boy!

Wishing Nadine Dorries a speedy recovery.

Hope she gets well soon
