Similarly the UK health minister has just tested positive for it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51827356

Parliament has sat today, without her, so it's still quite possible that others will catch it.

Junior health minister. I think she is in charge of a subsection of areas, but she is not THE health minister from what I've read.

Yes, she is one of four ministers underneath the health secretary. Care is not in her portfolio luckily (she is responsible for mental health and patient experience).
