"However warm the weather, however tempting your local beach or park, we need everyone to stay at home because in hospitals across the country NHS staff are battling day and night to keep desperately sick people breathing," health minister Matt Hancock told a news conference. "I was told he was waving his thanks to all of the nurses and doctors he saw as he was moved from the intensive care unit back to the ward," his spokesman said. "The hospital said that he was in extremely good spirits last night."
Hancock said Raab had done an "excellent job" in Johnson's stead. "The good news is that the government in his absence has been functioning very efficiently, very effectively," he said. "We don't have enough information yet to make any changes to the social distancing arrangements," Hancock said.
