This afternoon I had a routine PCR test which has returned a positive result for COVID-19.
I will be isolating and will continue to work from home.
I encourage anyone who is unwell to test and to take any extra precautions to keep their families and neighbours well.

A statement from the BBC on what happened to me in Shanghai last night while doing my job.
I understand at least one local national was arrested after trying to stop the police from beating me.
Thanks very much for the kind words and messages of concern.
BBC Statement on Ed Lawrence
ALT BBC STATEMENT ON ED LAWRENCE “The BBC is extremely concerned about the treatment of our journalist Ed Lawrence, who was arrested and handcuffed while covering the protests in Shanghai. He was held for several hours before being released. During his arrest, he was beaten and kicked by the police. This happened while he was working as an accredited journalist. “It is very worrying that one of our journalists was attacked in this way whilst carrying out his duties. We have had no official explanation or apology from the Chinese authorities, beyond a claim by the officials who later released him that they had arrested him for his own good in case he caught Covid from the crowd. We do not consider this a credible explanation.”
