Apparently, his condition got worse with every passing day: “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.”

Johnson already knows who will step in for him. At the same time, he recovers: “The Prime Minister has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputize for him where necessary. The Prime Minister is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication.”

Johnson also decided to share his condition with his followers on Twitter: “Last night, on the advice of my doctor, I went into the hospital for some routine tests as I’m still experiencing coronavirus symptoms. I’m in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team, as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe.”

The prime minister also decided to praise NHS staff: “I’d like to say thank you to all the brilliant NHS staff taking care of me and others in this difficult time. You are the best of Britain. Stay safe, everyone, and please remember to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.”

In the end, Donald Trump wished a quick recovery to Johnson: “I want to send best wishes to a very good friend of mine, and a friend to our nation, Prime Minister Boris Johnson. We are very saddened to hear that he was taken into intensive care this afternoon. Americans are all praying for his recovery – he’s been a really good friend and something very special: strong, resolute, doesn’t quit, doesn’t give up.”
