Piers also expressed concerns over Boris still continuing to lead the government’s response to the virus.
He wrote on Twitter: “If Boris has a #Coronavirus fever, as he says, then he surely shouldn’t still be trying to run the country?
“Too many huge, crucial decisions to be made for someone who may be feeling very rough to be at the helm.
He surely shouldn’t still be trying to run the country?
“Who is the designated survivor PM – [Dominic] Raab? [Rishi] Sunak? [Michael] Gove?”
It comes after Boris confirmed he has tested positive for the bug after showing mild symptoms.
What did he say?
He said: “Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.
