BRITISH PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson has been taken into the hospital intensive care unit for treatment for coronavirus after his condition worsened, his office said.
The British prime minister was admitted to St Thomas’s Hospital in London on Sunday night because his virus symptoms had not cleared up and he became more seriously ill on Monday afternoon, a government spokesperson said in an email.
“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,” according to the statement. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will stand in for Johnson running the country, “where necessary.”
