Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

Wouldn't Boris be immune, having contracted it already?

Possibly, but nobody exactly 100% sure yet, and he might still be able to spread it, so needs to self isolate the same as anyone else would. The app, T&T, and the general process doesn't differentiate between those previously infected or not for good reason.
 
TBF, that tweet is dumb as it quotes rules regarding households mixing, whereas their meeting was clearly work related.

The work guidelines state:

3.4 Meetings
Objective: To reduce transmission due to face-to-face meetings and maintain social distancing in meetings.
Steps that will usually be needed:
  1. Using remote working tools to avoid in-person meetings.
  2. Only absolutely necessary participants should physically attend meetings and should maintain social distancing (2m, or 1m with risk mitigation where 2m is not viable).
  3. Avoiding transmission during meetings, for example avoiding sharing pens, documents and other objects.
  4. Providing hand sanitiser in meeting rooms.
  5. Holding meetings outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms whenever possible.
  6. For areas where regular meetings take place, using floor signage to help people maintain social distancing.
 
It's funny isn't it. The head of comms gets kicked out, partly at the behest of a new media spokeperson, then suddenly there's a minister getting put forward for a Piers Morgan interview again, and a national story making headlines about the 'NHS' test and trace app working effectively, that also happens to change the narrative around the Prime Minister.

Isn't random chance odd.
