China News Service, April 6 (BBC), Downing Street in the United Kingdom issued a statement on the 5th that Prime Minister Johnson was admitted to the hospital for preventive testing because of the "continuous symptoms" of new coronary pneumonia. Johnson tested positive for the new coronavirus 10 days ago and has been quarantined since.
According to reports, Johnson was taken to a hospital in London on the evening of the 5th local time. His "persistent symptoms" include fever. It is said that this is a "preventive measure" taken on the advice of a doctor.
A spokeswoman for Downing Street said in a statement on the 5th: "According to the doctor's recommendation, the Prime Minister has been taken to hospital for examination tonight."
"This is a precautionary measure because the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of the new coronavirus ten days after he has a positive reaction to the virus."
She added: “The Prime Minister thanked the NHS staff for all the incredible hard work they did, and urged the public to continue to follow the government ’s recommendations to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.”
According to Laura Kuenssberg, the BBC's political editor, Johnson is expected to spend the night in the hospital and conduct so-called "routine tests."
The report said that the UK government affairs are still led by the Prime Minister, but it is expected that the Foreign Secretary will preside over a meeting of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic on the morning of the 6th.
