Kate Osborne becomes second MP to test positive for Covid-19

LABOUR’S Kate Osborne has become the second MP to test positive for coronavirus, it emerged today, as House of Commons authorities announced restrictions on visits to Parliament.

“I will continue to self-isolate until I have fought off the illness,” Ms Osborne wrote in a social-media post after receiving her results on Sunday night.

“But in the mean time, I would encourage everyone to band together and support the most vulnerable in our communities.”
