British Prime Minister Boris Johnson left a London hospital after testing negative for the Coronavirus over the weekend; saying he plans to “focus on recovery” and won’t return to his full-time duties for the near future.
“It’s hard to find the words to express my debt – but before I come to that, I want to thank everyone in the entire UK for the effort and the sacrifice you have made and are making,” said the Prime Minister.
“We are making progress in this national battle because the British public formed a human shield around this country’s greatest national asset – our National Health Service,” he said.
It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.
The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it. Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past. #StayHomeSaveLives pic.twitter.com/HK7Ch8BMB5
