UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved to ICU

The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister has been moved to the ICU.

That news comes this afternoon less than a day after Johnson was moved to the hospital for COVID-19 symptoms.  A spokesman for Johnson told the BBC Johnson was given oxygen late Monday before arriving in intensive care.

Early Monday morning, Johnson tweeted he was ‘in good spirits’

Johnson, who’s 55, has been suffering with COVID-19 symptoms for nearly two weeks.

I’d like to say thank you to all the brilliant NHS staff taking care of me and others in this difficult time. You are the best of Britain.

Stay safe everyone, and please remember to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.
