The UK government on Monday said Prime Minister Boris Johnson is "doing well" after staying overnight in hospital for some "routine tests" related to his COVID-19 diagnosis.
"This wasn't an emergency admission. It was a planned admission to undergo some routine tests. He is doing well, I am told, and we look forward to him being back at No.10 soon," UK housing and communities secretary Robert Jenrick was quoted as saying by TNIE.
The cabinet minister said Johnson remains in charge of the UK's response to COVID-19 pandemic.
The 55-year-old Prime Minister was admitted to a National Health Servive (NHS) hospital in London on Sunday evening after he showed "persistent symptoms of coronavirus."
