The presenter is following Department for Health guidelines, according to Channel 4 News.

Snow said that he does not have any symptoms of the virus.

He told Channel 4 News via a videolink from his home: “I woke up this morning feeling rather tired, but that was from the trip.

“But we weren’t actually anywhere near where the main virus outbreak has occurred.”

He said that he is “not really supposed to congregate with any crowds or go anywhere where there may be people”, adding: “So that means I’m sitting at home.

He added: “Maybe if you call me again in 14 days you will have a headcase on your hands.”

Snow’s producer and cameraman are also self-isolating after the trip to Iran.

“None of the team are currently showing any symptoms of Covid-19 but the official advice is to self-isolate regardless,” Channel 4 News tweeted.

The head of Iran’s virus task force, who just a day earlier gave a news conference in Tehran in which he tried to minimise the danger posed by the outbreak, tested positive for the illness on Tuesday.

His diagnosis came amid a worsening outbreak of coronavirus in the country.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
