British Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved to intensive care
Britain is concerned about the life and health of its Prime Minister: Boris Johnson's physical condition is deteriorating. Boris Johnson's transfer to intensive care was made based on the diagnosis of his medical team. Johnson is suffering from coronavirus.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's medical team has deemed it necessary to move him to the intensive care unit at St Thomas' Hospital. The news of the British Prime Minister's transfer to the intensive care unit of the hospital has been officially announced by the government.
A government statement in London said that Johnson's transfer to intensive care was a precautionary measure and that the move was made to ensure that the British Prime Minister would have access to a ventilator if he needed it.
Boris Johnson, 55, was taken to hospital on Sunday, April 5, with coronavirus symptoms. It was initially said that he was taken to hospital for initial checks and tests.
Boris Johnson's health condition worsened on Monday, April 6. This is the reason for his transfer to intensive care.
Observe for signs of illness
The British Prime Minister's Office announced in a statement that Boris Johnson is receiving excellent care from the medical team and has personally expressed his gratitude to all colleagues in the British health service for their hard work.
The Prime Minister's Office statement also said that Boris Johnson has tasked British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab with "doing whatever is necessary" to carry out government business.
Boris Johnson announced in late March that he had contracted the COVID-19 virus. He then went into self-isolation to continue his government duties, continuing his duties in isolation from the Prime Minister's Office.
He expressed optimism in a video message about the UK's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The British Prime Minister is said to have lost weight and continues to have a fever and severe cough.
In early March, Boris Johnson shook hands with many people at a hospital, including several coronavirus patients. He said at the time that he did not regret doing so and would do so again in the future.
The British government is facing many problems in dealing with the spread of the coronavirus. The delay in dealing with the spread of the disease has caused a large number of British people to become infected. In addition, the British health system is suffering from a lack of funding.
There has been a lack of adequate testing for the coronavirus in the country, and there is a significant shortage of masks, protective gear, and respirators in hospitals. Some clinics have even reported a shortage of oxygen for treating lung patients.
