No 10: Condition of PM has 'worsened'

The UK PM first tested positive for coronavirus 10 days ago, experiencing what his team called "mild symptoms".

However, earlier today, his spokesman said the symptoms had become "persistent", and he was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital on Sunday evening.

A statement from Downing Streets says: “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.

“The PM has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise for him where necessary.

“The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication."

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson moved to intensive care
BBC News

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care in hospital after his coronavirus symptoms "worsened", Downing Street has said.


Mr Johnson has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputise "where necessary", a spokesman added.

The prime minister, 55, was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital in London with "persistent symptoms" on Sunday.

The spokesman said he was moved on the advice of his medical team and is receiving "excellent care".


A statement read: "Since Sunday evening, the prime minister has been under the care of doctors at St Thomas' Hospital, in London, after being admitted with persistent symptoms of coronavirus.

"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."

It continued: "The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication."

No longer business as usual in Downing Street

Laura Kuenssberg

BBC political editor

After very, very little information was shared today, the prime minister was taken into intensive care at around 19:00 BST (18:00 GMT) tonight.

We've been told he is still conscious, but his condition has worsened over the course of the afternoon.

And he has been moved to intensive care as a precaution in case he needs ventilation to get through this illness.

The statement from Downing Street makes clear he is receiving excellent care and he wants to thank all of the NHS staff.

But something important has changed, and he has felt it necessary to ask his foreign secretary to deputise for him where needs be.

That is a completely different message from what we have heard in the last 18 hours or so, where it was continually "the prime minister is in touch" and "he is in charge" - almost like everything is business as usual.

But clearly being in intensive care changes everything.

One of the Doctors just said on Sky .


Monday 8:30pm Sky News 6th April 2020

Dr Rees:

“ We know the majority of the public are taking this Virus serious, can now everybody take it serious and Not go out and mix, with others or other peoples houses. “

“This should take a big warning and this is serious and any further stages his body will close down.”

“ He then said you should stay at home , not go out and I am lost For words if everyone is now not listening.”

“ Antibiotics won’t help / Prevention is a better cure and this why you need to listen and stay in, members of the public.”

“ There is no treatment.”

Politicians send well wishes to UK PM

Well wishes have been coming in from all sides of the political spectrum in the UK after the news Boris Johnson has been moved into intensive care.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak tweeted: “My thoughts tonight are with Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds [the PM's fiancee]. I know he’ll be getting the best care possible and will come out of this even stronger.”

Scotland's First Minister and leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon, tweeted: “My thoughts are with the PM and his family – sending him every good wish.”

The Labour Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, tweeted that he was "praying for the prime minister’s swift recovery". He said St Thomas' Hospital has "some of the finest medical staff in the world", adding "he couldn’t be in safer hands”.

Lib Dem MP Layla Moran tweeted: "My thoughts are with Boris Johnson, Carrie Symonds and anyone who is or whose family is in a bad way due to Covid-19". She said it "must be so scary", before adding: "I hope the government can now stop this pretence that all is fine and concentrate on getting him well and reassure the country."

And Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "I hope and pray for Boris Johnson to come through this ordeal quickly."

Breathing unaided atm so that’s a major plus. Downing Street have said he’s conscious which is good but the fact they mentioned this indicates the seriousness I’d imagine.
Just hope he pulls through this.

British politicans and international leaders have sent their best wishes to the prime minister, including Labour leader Keir Starmer, who tweeted "[this is] terribly sad news. My thoughts are with the Prime Minister and his family during this incredibly difficult time"

Bad news.

And Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford said it was "concerning news", adding: "My thoughts are with him and his family."

Intensive care gives clear indication on PM's health

James Gallagher

Health and science correspondent, BBC News

Intensive care is where doctors look after the sickest patients – so Boris Johnson's admission to ICU is the clearest indication of how ill the prime minister is.

We do not know the full details of his condition, but we have been told he is conscious and not being ventilated.

Not every patient in intensive care is ventilated, but around two-thirds are within 24 hours of admission with Covid-19.

This is a disease that attacks the lungs and can cause pneumonia and difficulty breathing.

This leaves the body struggling to get enough oxygen into the blood and to the body’s vital organs.

There is no proven drug treatment for Covid-19, although there are many experimental candidates.

But the cornerstone of the prime minister’s care will depend on getting enough oxygen into his body and supporting his other organs while his immune system fights the virus.

This is a torrid time.
Just had news my friends father is on end of life care.Covid 19.

Annis, they were just saying on the news that he’s been working so hard even though he’s been ill.An adviser also said that he won’t rest until things can be done quicker / better. I’m hoping this hadn’t had an effect on his immune system

Theresa May -

My thoughts and prayers are with BorisJohnson and his family as he continues to receive treatment in hospital.

This horrific virus does not discriminate. Anyone can get it. Anyone can spread it. Please #StayHomeSaveLives

This is a torrid time.
Just had news my friends father is on end of life care.Covid 19.

I'm afraid to say that I think it has had an effect on his health, when you are that ill rest is needed, but he has been so busy and when you are ill and run down, it is very hard to fight off any normal infections but this virus is something else!
