UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been discharged from hospital, a week after being admitted due to “persistent” Covid-19 symptoms, a Downing Street spokesman said Sunday.
“The PM has been discharged from hospital to continue his recovery, at Chequers,” he said.
Chequers is the official country residence of British prime ministers.
Johnson was admitted to hospital last Sunday and was moved to intensive care on Monday. He spent three nights in the ICU and received “standard oxygen treatment,” according to his spokesman, but did not require mechanical or invasive ventilation.
The spokesperson said that on the advice of his medical team, the PM won’t immediately be returning to work.
