https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/09/boris-johnson-intensive-care-battles-coronavirus-hospital-12535628/

Boris Johnson has been moved out of intensive care, where he has been battling coronavirus since Monday evening.

The Prime Minister now remains on a general ward at St Thomas’ Hospital, where he will ‘receive close monitoring’, a Downing Street spokesperson said.

They added: ‘He is in extremely good spirits.’ During the daily press conference today, he was described as being in ‘high spirits’ by First Secretary of State Dominic Raab. He said that the PM had been continuing with ‘standard oxygen treatment’ during his time in the ICU.

Johnson first announced he had tested positive for coronavirus March 27, but continued working in isolation and leading the government. He was then admitted to hospital on Sunday evening after showing symptoms of the virus still after 10 days.
