UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was taken to the hospital for tests, coming just days after he was diagnosed with COVID-19, according to his office, which said the move is precautionary.
Johnson is one of nearly 48,000 UK residents to have contracted the potentially fatal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, a novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
A Downing Street spokeswoman told UK news outlets: “On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests.”
The spokeswoman added that Johnson, 55, has “continue[d] to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus,” while stressing that his hospitalization was precautionary.
“The Prime Minister thanks [National Health Service] staff for all of their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the Government’s advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives,” the statement read.
Johnson was diagnosed with the CCP virus on March 27 and was showing mild symptoms at the time, the government said. Johnson had informed his social media followers that he had mild symptoms before he tested positive.
