British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was discharged from St. Thomas' Hospital in London on Sunday to finish recovering from the coronavirus at a country home, according to CNN.
The big picture: Johnson was diagnosed with COVID-19 in March and admitted to the hospital last Sunday before being moved to the ICU a day later.
- He was moved from the ICU Thursday. "I can't thank them enough," Johnson said in a statement to news outlets about National Health Service hospital staff. "I owe them my life."
It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.
