Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is self-isolating for the third time since the pandemic started after he came into contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.

Sir Keir wrote on Twitter: “This morning I was notified that I must self isolate after coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. I have no symptoms and will be working from home until next Monday.”

It is not yet confirmed whether the latest stay-at-home notice means the Opposition leader will miss his regular slot at Prime Minister’s Questions with Boris Johnson on Wednesday.

This morning I was notified that I must self isolate after coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

I have no symptoms and will be working from home until next Monday.

— Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) January 25, 2021

A period of self-isolation lasts for 10 days from the first point of contact with a Covid-positive person, meaning the initial contact came late last week.

The former director of public prosecutions was previously forced to quarantine in both September and December.

Last month, he had to stay at home after a member of his private office staff tested positive for coronavirus.

In September, Sir Keir went into quarantine when one of his children developed possible symptoms of the disease, only for a test to come back negative two days later.

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.
