British Prime Minister Boris Johnson returns to work on Monday more than three weeks after being hospitalised for the coronavirus and spending three days in intensive care.
Johnson, one of the highest-profile people to have contracted the virus, returned to 10 Downing Street on Sunday evening and will chair a meeting on Monday morning of the coronavirus “war cabinet”, his colleagues confirmed.
Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary who has deputised in Johnson’s absence, told the BBC on Sunday that his return would be a “boost for the government and a boost for the country”.
Raab also claimed the prime minister was “raring to go”.
Johnson, 55, was admitted to hospital on April 5 suffering from “persistent symptoms” of the deadly disease.
His condition worsened and he later admitted after being put in intensive care that “things could have gone either way”.
