He was taken to hospital on Sunday ten days after testing positive – and was moved to intensive care on Monday when his symptoms “worsened.”

The prime minister was receiving “standard oxygen treatment” in intensive care and had not been on a ventilator, Downing Street said earlier.

As of Thursday, more than 61,516 people had contracted the coronavirus in the U.K., with 7,097 deaths nationwide, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
