Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, tested positive for Covid-19 on March 26 and was admitted to a local hospital yesterday after his symptoms failed to subside during self-quarantine. Today he was moved to the intensive care unit because his symptoms continue to worsen.
Say a prayer tonight for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson who has now been moved into the ICU unit. My heart goes out to him, his family, and every person suffering.

Johnson remains conscious and alert. He has not been put on a ventilator or respirator. Johnson has passed some of his duties to Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, including security decisions and the UK’s daily Covid-19 response.
My thoughts and prayers are with @BorisJohnson and his family as he continues to receive treatment in hospital.

This horrific virus does not discriminate. Anyone can get it. Anyone can spread it. Please #StayHomeSaveLives
This situation continues to develop. We will report back as news breaks.
