he is fine but can't return to work
After several days hospitalized Boris Johnson tested negative for Covid-19. It was tested before release from the hospital. Johnson was seen walking with Carrie and Dilyn the dog in the garden of Chequers, but he can’t immediately return to work.
Over the course of the weekend, Prime Minister spoke to Dominic Raab. But he is not immediately returning to work and he will be guided by the doctors’ advice. Some senior ministers are already said to be pushing for him to be involved in the decision about if the UK’s lockdown will be extended. An extension of the social distancing restrictions is viewed as a formality but the duration is still up for discussion with some adamant it must be Johnson’s decision.
However, medical experts have warned the PM must not return to work too soon or he could risk a relapse.
Some MPs have expressed concerns about asking someone who has only just come out of intensive care to make major decisions, insisting he must be ‘firing on all cylinders’ when he does come back. The decision on whether to lift lockdown restrictions in Britain is likely to draw heavily on the situation in Italy and Spain which appear to be past the peaks of their outbreaks and are tentatively starting to loosen their lockdowns.
The government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) will weigh up data relating to the lockdown and the spread of the disease in the coming days. The lockdown has hobbled the UK economy and that is why some ministers believe it must be Mr. Johnson who signs off on what happens next by dialing into discussions later this week.
Mr. Johnson said in a video statement released after he left the hospital that the NHS ‘has saved my life, no question’. The PM also said he believed ‘things could have gone either way’ for him as he praised the nurses and doctors who treated him. “We will win because our NHS is the beating heart of this country. It is the best in this country. It is unconquerable. It is powered by love.”
The number of people infected with Covid-19 in the UK, where most restrictions have been lifted, is approaching record levels in relative indifference, according to estimates published on Friday 25 March.
