Mr Johnson only returned to work on Monday after spending time in intensive care during his battle with coronavirus.

Ms Symonds also suffered symptoms of the disease.

The couple announced at the end of February that they were expecting a baby in "early summer" and they became engaged at the end of last year.

Mr Johnson has previously suggested he intends to take paternity leave, although it is not known if this remains the case given the COVID-19 crisis.
