Boris Johnson’s Weg an die Macht
April 7, 2020 -
Der britische Premierminister Boris Johnson wurde in die Intensivstation in einem Londoner Spital überstellt, er leidet an einem schweren Fall von Covid-19. Außenminister Dominic Raab wird den Premierminister vertreten, "soweit dies erforderlich ist".
Johnson is “in good spirits,” according to a Downing Street spokesman. He said the prime minister, 55, was stable overnight and is being given oxygen -- and was not on a ventilator.
In a statement on Tuesday, a Downing Street spokesman said: “The prime minister has been stable overnight and remains in good spirits. He is receiving standard oxygen treatment and is breathing without any other assistance.
“He has not required mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support.”
A ventilator takes over the body’s breathing process when a disease has caused the lungs to fail.
