Since it became known on Sunday that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (55) had to be brought to the clinic because of the persistent "persistent symptoms" of his coronavirus infection, worldwide recovery wishes have come to the New York City-born Briton. President Donald Trump (73) appears to be so concerned that he has indirectly asked his fellow Americans to pray for Johnson.
White House press conference
At a press conference at the White House, President Trump said: "I want to convey Prime Minister Boris Johnson our nation's best wishes while he wages his own personal battle against the virus. All Americans pray for him, he's a friend of mine, and a great gentleman and a great leader. He was taken to the hospital today, but I am hopeful and sure he will be well. He is a strong person. "
President Trump said he had spoken to the British Ambassador about Johnson's health. "Going to the hospital is a big step. I just hope he is doing well," Trump continued.
All-clear for pregnant Carrie Symonds
Ten days ago (March 27) it was known that Johnson had COVID-19 and was quarantined from his office at Downing Street No. 10 out further. Because his symptoms did not improve, he was taken to the hospital on Sunday. His office said, according to the Daily Mail, that the prime minister had been instructed "only as a precaution and for further testing," on the advice of his doctor. In a Twitter video On Friday, a visibly exhausted Boris Johnson revealed that he still had a high fever.
His pregnant fiancee, political advisor Carrie Symonds (32) is also believed to have contracted the virus. However, on Saturday she gave the all-clear: "I have spent the last week in bed with the main symptoms of the coronavirus. I did not have to be tested, and after seven days of rest I feel stronger and am on the mend" she wrote on Twitter.
