UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has expressed gratitude in a Twitter video after he was discharged from hospital after being treated for the novel Coronavirus.
The 55-year-old politician took to social media on March 27, to announce he tested positive for the novel COVID-19 and had been in self-isolation at his Downing Street residence for seven days. He was later admitted at the St Thomas’ hospital, in London after his COVID-19 symptoms persisted.
Mr Johnson was earlier today discharged from the hospital to make his full recovery at home.
A No. 10 Downing Street spokesman said Sunday that: “The PM has been discharged from hospital to continue his recovery, at Chequers,” he said.
“On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work. He wishes to thank everybody at St Thomas’ for the brilliant care he has received.”
“All of his thoughts are with those affected by this illness.”
Boris Johnson later took to his official Twitter handle to thank the medical staff who took care of him during his stay at the hospital due to coronavirus infection. He also thanked everyone else in the UK for their efforts made in the battle against the deadly coronavirus.
