The British PM tested positive for the coronavirus and issued a statement on Friday, 27 March 2020, saying he had mild symptoms of the coronavirus – a temperature and a persistent cough.

Boris Johnson said he is working from home and ‘self-isolating’ as ‘that’s entirely the right thing to do.’

However, the Prime Minister was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital, in London, on Sunday night, 5 April, with persistent symptoms.

On Monday, 6 September, the Prime Minister’s condition had worsened and, following medical advice, was moved to the Intensive Care Unit.

A statement from Downing Street said, ‘The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication.’

The Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have wished the Prime Minister a speedy recovery.

Our thoughts are with the Prime Minister and his family, who like so many in the UK and around the world are affected by coronavirus. We wish him a speedy recovery at this difficult time. W
