LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not need to self isolate even though a member of his staff on a recent trip to Scotland tested positive for the coronavirus, his Downing Street office said.<\/p>\n

Johnson visited a police college in Fife on Wednesday and a wind farm off Aberdeenshire on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Local media reported a member of Johnson\u2019s staff who accompanied him to the police college and travelled with him on a plane tested positive for coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prime Minister regularly visits communities across the UK and all aspects of visits are carried out in line with COVID guidance,\u201d a Downing Street spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prime Minister has not come into close contact with anyone who has tested positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month Johnson and finance minister Rishi Sunak both self-isolated in line with national guidance, abandoning heavily criticised plans to take part in a pilot scheme that would have allowed them to continue working.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear the Prime Minister hasn\u2019t learned anything from what happened last time he tried to cook up a reason to be above the rules everyone else has to follow,\u201d said Anneliese Dodds, chair of the opposition Labour Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenior Conservatives are really taking the public for fools. This is yet another example of one rule for them and another for everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
