"I want to thank everybody involved and, of course, our amazing NHS staff."
"So thank you to everybody who's doing what I'm doing, working from home to stop the spread of the virus from household to household," he added.
"That's the way we're going to win."
According to BBC, Mr Johnson was tested at No 10 by NHS staff, on the personal advice of England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, Downing Street said.
