Prime MInister Boris Johnson was released from hospital yesterday after having spent seven nights in hospital.
Mr Johnson was taken to St John’s Hospital in Westminster on Sunday 5th April – ten days after testing positive for coronavirus.
The PM was moved to an Intensive Care ward on Monday where he spent three nights before returning to a ward on Thursday.
He will now continue his recuperation at Chequers, the PM’s official country residence.
This was the statment from Downing Street:
The PM has been discharged from hospital to continue his recovery, at Chequers.
On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work. He wishes to thank everybody at St Thomas’ for the brilliant care he has received.
All of his thoughts are with those affected by this illness.
The Prime Minister was released from hospital on the day that the number of deaths from coronavirus in the UK topped 10,000. This figure does not include people who die in other community settings, including care homes, so that figure may well be substantially higher.
