Homelander Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital 10 days after testing positive for coronavirus. As recently as Friday, the UK prime minister said he was “feeling better”, but that he would remain in self-isolation until his temperature dropped. However, on Sunday evening Downing Street revealed he had been taken to hospital for precautionary tests. It is not believed to be an emergency admission though the PM is expected to stay in overnight, having thought to have been admitted in the early evening. “On the advice of his doctor, the prime minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests,” a spokeswoman said. “This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus. “The prime minister thanks NHS staff for all of their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the Government’s advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.” Johnson has been continuing to the lead the Government’s response to the COVID-19 crisis from inside Downing Street, chairing Cabinet meetings via video link. He is understood to be in an NHS hospital in London, where he will stay for “as long as needed”. A Number 10 spokesman insisted on Sunday he remained “in charge of the Government” and has not handed responsibilities to his de facto deputy Dominic Raab. However, Mr Raab is likely to chair the daily COVID-19 meeting on Monday morning for ministers and officials instead of the PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homelander Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Boris Johnson taken to intensive care as coronavirus symptoms worsen Boris Johnson has been taken to intensive care after his coronavirus symptoms worsened. The UK prime minister had been in St Thomas’ Hospital in central London for tests and observation, but his doctors advised he be admitted to intensive care after he experienced breathing difficulties. His absence leaves a vacuum in leadership at a crucial time in the UK’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which so far has killed 5,373 patients. Johnson is reported to be still conscious, but was moved to an ICU at 7pm on Monday in case he needed a ventilator. He had been admitted to hospital on Sunday after his coronavirus symptoms had persisted for 10 days for what Downing Street were precautionary tests. A spokesman for Johnson said: “Since Sunday evening, the prime minister has been under the care of doctors at St Thomas’ Hospital, in London, after being admitted with persistent symptoms of coronavirus. “Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the prime minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the intensive care unit at the hospital. “The PM has asked foreign secretary Dominic Raab, who is the first secretary of state, to deputise for him where necessary. “The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
