United Kingdom Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has been discharged from the hospital after responding well to treatment.
The Prime Minister tested positive for Coronavirus and was moved to intensive care and later to a normal ward at the St.Thomas hospital.
Johnson will continue recovering at home and has been advised not to embark to hi work immediately.
“On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work. He wishes to thank everybody at St Thomas’ for the brilliant care he has received. All of his thoughts are with those affected by this illness.” A statement by a downstreet spokesman read.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is currently in charge of running the government, with aides reportedly expecting Mr Johnson to be out of action for as long as a month.
Dr Ian Abbs, chief executive at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital, said: “It is a great credit to the exceptional professionalism of clinical teams, as well as everyone in the wider organisation, that we have been able to care for the prime minister so effectively, whilst continuing to deliver equally high standards of care to all of our patients.
“While it is right that we celebrate this good news, our thoughts turn immediately to those who still need our help at this time.
The prime minister’s fiancee, Carrie Symonds, who is due to give birth in two months, 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.”
Ms Symonds has been self-isolating with coronavirus-like symptoms but has not been tested.
