“On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister was hospitalized for analysis this evening,” a CNN press release quoted the Johnson press service as saying.

It is clarified that the British minister was transferred to the hospital as a precaution.

“This is a precaution, as the Prime Minister continues to show symptoms of coronavirus for 10 days after a positive virus test result,” the statement said.

On March 27, Johnson announced that he had contracted a coronavirus.
