Boris Johnson leaves intensive care as he continues COVID-19 recovery
British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, moved out of intensive care on Thursday after spending about five days in a London hospital for coronavirus.
Mr. Johnson was hospitalized on Sunday evening after a 10-day bout with the virus and transferred to the intensive care unit on Monday after his condition deteriorated.
Downing Street confirmed on Thursday the prime minister had been moved back to a ward at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London and was in “extremely good spirits.”

He also indicted that the government would extend the country’s lockdown beyond next week.
