British Prime Minister Boris Johnson returns to work on Monday more than three weeks after being hospitalized for the coronavirus and spending three days in intensive care.
Johnson, 55, was admitted to hospital on April 5 suffering from “persistent symptoms” of the deadly disease.
The British leader was diagnosed with the virus late last month but initially stayed at Downing Street and was filmed taking part in a round of applause for health workers in the days before he went to hospital.Some critics have described the government as being rudderless in his absence.Britain has been one of the countries worst affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, with the number of deaths reaching 20,732 in the days before Johnson’s return.
One major decision Johnson will face is whether or not to relax strict social distancing rules which he introduced on March 23.
