British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has been discharged from St Thomas Hospital week after being admitted with a severe case of Coronavirus.
On the advice of his medical team, Johnson will not be immediately returning to work,he will continue his recovery, at Chequers.
The prime minister’s fiancee, Carrie Symonds, who is expecting a baby, said on Twitter: “Thank you also to everyone who sent such kind messages of support. Today I’m feeling incredibly lucky.
“There were times last week that were very dark indeed. My heart goes out to all those in similar situations, worried sick about their loved ones.
“I cannot thank our magnificent NHS enough. The staff at St Thomas’ Hospital have been incredible. I will never, ever be able to repay you and I will never stop thanking you.”
The PM later shared a five-minute video, paying tribute to NHS staff and naming the nurses who looked after him.
He said: “It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.”
The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it. Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past.
The U.K. has the fifth-highest number of coronavirus fatalities of any country in the world at 9,875, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University, with 79,885 cases. Johnson tested positive for Covid-19 on March 27.
