COVID-19: Britain’s Johnson ‘Responding To Treatment’ But Remains In Intensive Care
Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks to the media at the scene of a stabbing on London Bridge in the City of London, on November 30, 2019. A man suspected of stabbing two people to death in a terror attack on London Bridge was an ex-prisoner convicted of terrorism offences and released last year, police said Saturday.
Earlier, junior health minister Edward Argar told Sky News the Conservative leader was “not on ventilation”. Deputising for Johnson, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab called the PM “a fighter” and predicted “he’ll be back, leading us through this crisis in short order”. Downing Street also said on Wednesday that it was still too soon to say whether stringent social distancing measures introduced on March 23 for an initial three-week period would be eased at all.
The country does not have a formal constitutional role of deputy prime minister, and experts said Raab would need the support of the rest of the cabinet to make any big decisions.Johnson announced on March 27 that he had coronavirus and went into self-isolation in a flat above his Downing Street office.
“This is an enormous shock, completely unfamiliar territory for all those who know him,” he told BBC radio.
