UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been discharged from hospital after being in intensive care with Covid-19, Downing Street has said.
Johnson had been receiving treatment for coronavirus at St Thomas’ Hospital in London since last Sunday.
He was moved into the ICU of St. Thomas Hospital as a precaution in case he required a ventilator.
He was moved back to a normal ward on Thursday.
As he recovered, Johnson thanked staff at St Thomas Hospital for taking care of him while he recovers from COVID-19.
“I can’t thank them enough. I owe them my life,” Johnson said in a brief statement issued late on Saturday.
