UK minister apologises for continuing meeting after positive COVID test

British health department minister Gillian Keegan has apologised for continuing a meeting after she was informed she had tested positive for COVID-19. In a thread on Twitter published late on Tuesday, Keegan said was informed that a precautionary lateral flow test had returned a positive result whilst speaking to a group in her role as minister for care and mental health. 'I told them the result and took further precautions but with their consent, I stayed for a short period to hear their stories,' she said. The meeting was with three men who had lost their daughters to suicide.
