Boris Johnson was first diagnosed with coronavirus 11 days ago. His fiancé Carrie Symonds, who is pregnant with his child, is currently self-isolating at the couple’s home in South London. The father-to-be is due to welcome the new addition in the summer, but how many children does he already have and who are they?
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital on Sunday on the advice of his doctor.
Upon his arrival, he was struggling to breathe and given oxygen.
However, his condition worsened on Monday and at 7pm the decision was taken to move him to the intensive care unit.
Mr Johnson then requested Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputise for him “where necessary”.
Reports suggest the PM’s condition has not changed overnight, but an official update is expected later on Tuesday.
