DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has tested positive for Covid-19.

Sir Jeffrey tweeted on Tuesday that he had received a positive result from a PCR test.

“When I returned from London on Friday evening I felt a cold coming on but it has been getting worse,” he said.

“PCR test has now come back positive. Close contacts will be notified. Thankfully I received my booster two weeks ago. The importance of being vaccinated cannot be overstated.”

He added: “Work still goes on even though I’m a bit croaky. Sore throat is most uncomfortable symptom. I will still be having a virtual meeting with the Foreign Secretary @trussliz this afternoon on the need to remove the Irish Sea border which is reducing accessibility to medicines etc.”
