Ben Everitt, MP for Milton Keynes North, has fully recovered from COVID-19 and is on his last day of self-isolation.
Although he has not been tested, Ben Everitt MP believes that he has had the virus.
Speaking to MKFM, Ben Everitt says he is now feeling better, but the cough, which is one of the symptoms, hasn't gone away yet. "The cough will last longer than the virus," he added. "But all of the symptoms have gone other than just feeling a bit knackered which is your usual post-viral fatigue. No temperature, definitely no fever, and feeling a lot better than I have been."
Ben has been in self-isolation for one week and has been posting daily updates on his Twitter page. Speaking about how he found self-isolation, Ben said he was "very lucky" because he and his colleagues have worked well remotely. "I haven't really felt isolated despite the fact I haven't seen another human being for 7 days," he added.
