Boris Johnson had continued to show coronavirus symptoms even after 7 days when he was tested positive.

This move came after his aides grew increasingly worried about the Prime Minister’s health. The government aides noted that Johnson was spluttering and coughing on the video conference calls from the past few days.

The spokesperson said that the PM was admitted to the hospital for tests on his doctor’s advice. They added that is was only a precautionary step because Boris Johnson had been showing the symptom even after 10 days of testing positive for COVID-19.

If the PM is not able to continue due to any reason, Mr. Raab would take over as the caretaker PM. In case he became unwell too, then the authority to delegate responsibility would be the PM’s.
