Coronavirus : British PM Boris Johnson’s Condition Worsens, Admitted in ICU

New Delhi : British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, suffering from Coronavirus, has been admitted to the ICU ward of the hospital late Monday after his condition worsened. He was rushed to the hospital for tests on Sunday after the PM still showed signs of corona. Boris Johnson was confirmed to have suffered from Corona 10 days ago.

A Downing Street spokesman said on Sunday that 55-year-old Johnson still had symptoms of the coronavirus. On Johnson’s doctor’s advice, he has been admitted to the hospital as a precautionary step. The spokesman said, “On the advice of the Prime Minister’s doctor, he has been admitted to the hospital tonight for examination. This is a precautionary step because even after 10 days of the confirmation of infection in the Prime Minister, he is showing symptoms.”

He said, “The Prime Minister praised the NHS staff for their hard work and appealed to the people to follow the government’s advice to stay indoors, preserve the NHS and save lives.” While giving information via social media on Friday, Johnson said that he has decided to keep himself in a separate residence for a few more days.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has wished Johnson a quick recovery.

Hang in there, Prime Minister @BorisJohnson! Hope to see you out of hospital and in perfect health very soon.

The estimated seven-day period of isolated habitat should have ended on Friday after the infection was detected last week, but the spokesperson said that the prime minister still has fever which is a symptom associated with the coronavirus and hence he will have to live in isolation for few more days.
