The prime minister, 55, said he would isolate himself in his official residence, 10 Downing Street, but would not relinquish his duties.
On Monday, after resisting harsher measures for more than a week, Mr. Johnson imposed a lockdown on Britain to try to curb the spread of the illness. He continued to meet with advisers and appeared most days at a televised briefing, though not on Thursday.

“I’ve developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus,” Mr. Johnson, looking pale and speaking with a rasp in his voice, said in a video posted on Twitter. “Be in no doubt that I can continue, thanks to the wizardry of modern technology, to communicate with all my top team to lead the national fightback against coronavirus.”
Mr. Johnson said that he was tested on Thursday after he began running a temperature and suffering a persistent cough.
