British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, diagnosed recently with coronavirus infection, has been admitted to the hospital "for tests," a statement from his office said Sunday.
"On the advice of his doctor, the Prime Minister has tonight been admitted to the hospital for tests," a statement from the government said. "This is a precautionary step, as the Prime Minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus."
He is continuing to run the country and was not admitted under emergency circumstances, the statement said.
"The Prime Minister thanks the NHS staff for all their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the Government's advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives."
