Boris Johnson had been quarantined in his Downing Street residence since being diagnosed with COVID-19 on March 26.
in most people, but for some, especially older adults and the infirm, it can cause pneumonia and lead to death.
Dr. Rupert Beale, a group leader of the cell biology of infection lab at the Francis Crick Institute for biomedical studies, said doctors would probably “be monitoring important vital signs such as oxygen saturations,” as well as performing blood tests, assessing Johnson’s organ function and possibly performing a CT scan on his chest to assess his lungs.
Johnson’s fiancee, Carrie Symonds, 32, revealed Saturday that she had had coronavirus symptoms for a week, though she wasn’t tested. Symonds, who is pregnant, said she was now “on the mend.” She has not been staying with the prime minister in Downing Street since his diagnosis.
