In the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was diagnosed with coronavirus late last month, was moved to intensive care in a London hospital after his condition worsened on Monday evening.
Foreign secretary Dominic Raab will be leading the UK government response to the coronavirus while Johnson is in hospital.
Foreign minister Dominic Raab reassured Britons, saying the heath of Prime Minister Boris Johnson is breathing without assistance and continues to be monitored in critical care.
Raab, who is acting as Johnson’s deputy, said the British leader had remained stable overnight and was receiving “standard oxygen treatment”.
“He has not required any mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support. He remains in good spirits and in keeping with usual clinical practice his progress continues to be monitored in critical care,” Raab told a news conference.
“I’m confident that he’ll pull through because if there’s one thing I know about this prime minister, he’s a fighter. He’ll be back at the helm leading us through this crisis in short order.”
