Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been taken to ICU after his coronavirus condition worsened.LONDON - Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson's condition has worsened since being hospitalised with persistent COVID-19 symptoms and he has been moved into intensive care, his Downing Street office said in a statement on Monday.
Britain has no formal succession plan should the prime minister become incapacitated, but Johnson, 55, asked foreign secretary Dominic Raab to deputize for him. Downing Street had said he was in good spirits and still in charge, though at about 1800 GMT he was moved to an intensive care unit - where the most serious cases are treated - at St Thomas’ hospital, across the River Thames from the Houses of Parliament in central London.
