British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was moved to an intensive care unit Monday afternoon, his condition described as “worsened” since he was admitted to hospital Sunday evening after diagnosis with coronavirus.
Boris Johnson had been admitted to St Thomas’s hospital London, which is directly opposite Britain’s parliament across the River Thames, Sunday evening, ten days after he was initially diagnosed with coronavirus. His admission was described at the time as not an emergency and on the advice of his personal physician that he should be tested in a hospital facility.
It later emerged that Mr Johnson was administered an oxygen treatment Sunday night after his admission.
An update from the Prime Minister’s personal office and official residence, 10 Downing Street, on Monday evening revealed he had been moved to an intensive care ward. Downing Street said: “over the course of [Monday] 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 of the hospital.”
