After being hospitalized and undergoing a series of tests, the UK Prime Minister tweeted today from his bed • "Thank the medical staff, stay home"

UPDATE: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson: After being rushed to hospital last Sunday, he tweeted today that he "feels good and keeps in touch with the team. We continue to fight Corona Governor together."

Johnson later thanked the dedicated medical staff who are taking care of him and the entire British health system and implored citizens: "Stay home. Keep yourselves and the emergency crews together. We can win the epidemic together."

I'd like to say thank you to all the brilliant NHS staff taking care of me and others in this difficult time. You are the best of Britain.



Stay safe everyone, and please remember to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.

Meanwhile, across the kingdom today, it has been reported that Johnson was treated with oxygen after being rushed to St. Thomas Hospital in London yesterday on the recommendation of his personal physician and staff treating him. 55-year-old Johnson was recently diagnosed as a patient in Corona and for the past ten days no benefit was recorded in his condition, which required his hospitalization.

The British Prime Minister has continued to function fully since being diagnosed, but suffered from fever and cough. His doctors decided not to take a risk and drove him to the hospital for examination, where the medical staff provided him with oxygen therapy as a first step, though Johnson did not consume the ventilator.

However, since Johnson's condition was mediocre, it was decided to leave it under surveillance and a series of tests. In this step his doctors try to prevent his condition from deteriorating or, God forbid, develop pneumonia, after the last days his body heat has increased and he looks exhausted.

Following the decision to hospitalize, the government's powers were temporarily transferred to British Foreign Minister Dominique Raab, who will now serve as prime minister instead of Johnson - as long as he is treated.

Johnson's physician, Sarah Gervis, said "he will undergo a series of tests. The fact that he is still dysfunctional and has respiratory problems explains that he is in moderate condition. "Johnson does not suffer from background illnesses, but he has previously struggled with obesity.
