Before the prime minister was even tested for a coronavirus, he asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputize him when needed, and if needed. Party’s spokesmen released a statement where he says that the condition of the prime minister worsened and that he was transferred to the intensive care unit of the hospital. Furthermore, he said that Boris Johnson is receiving the best possible care and that he is thankful to all of the staff for their dedication and work.
Moreover, we found out that the decision to move the prime minister to intensive care was made on Monday at 7 pm. We receive this news shortly after Dominic Raab stated that the prime minister is in the hospital and that he is in good spirits. As we found out, Boris Johnson didn’t travel by ambulance car to the hospital, instead, he was driven by a private transportation.
