UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been released from a London hospital after a brief stay including several days in the ICU. He tested positive for Covid-19 nearly 15 days ago and was hospitalized after 10 days with symptoms that would not subside.
Johnson was first quarantined at home until symptoms would not subside. He was taken to a local hospital, where he stayed for several days. When symptoms continued to get worse, he was moved to ICU. President Trump sent all the resources US doctors have discovered to help his UK counterpart.
They seem to have worked as Johnson was released after only 3 days in ICU.
