Boris Johnson "in good spirits" in intensive care

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is "stable" and "in good spirits" in intensive care as he continues to battle coronavirus.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is "in good spirits" after being admitted to intensive care last night.

The 55-year-old, who has been battling coronavirus, was admitted to St Thomas' hospital in London on Sunday as a precautionary measure but was transferred to the ICU on Monday evening after his symptoms worsened.

Delivering an update to journalists today, a Downing Street spokesman confirmed that the PM is in a "stable" condition and is breathing without the use of a ventilator.

"The prime minister has been stable overnight and remains in good spirits," he said. "He is receiving standard oxygen treatment and is breathing without any other assistance.

"He has not required mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support."

The spokesman added that Johnson has not been diagnosed with pneumonia.
