He has been a really good friend, something very special. Strong, resolute, does not quit, does not give up,\u201d the president said at the White House during the daily briefing of the Coronavirus Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said his thoughts were with Johnson and his pregnant partner, Carrie Symonds, and that the prime minister would \u201ccome out of this even stronger,\u201d while Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer described it as \u201cterribly sad news,\u201d the BBC reported.<\/p>\n<p>Labour MP Jeremy Corbin also extended his sympathies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy thoughts are with Boris Johnson and his family tonight.

The prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms. He had a comfortable night in hospital, and is in good spirits. He continues to lead the government,\u201d Raab told reporters from 10 Downing St. in London during a briefing on the spreading pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Pressed by reporters about whether it would be better for Johnson to rest instead of continuing to run the government from the hospital, Raab said Johnson was following his doctors\u2019 advice.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s in charge but he\u2019ll continue to take [his] doctor\u2019s advice,\u201d the foreign secretary said.<\/p>\n<p>Raab also reported that 51,608 Britons had tested positive and that 5,373 had died in the pandemic, and said it was essential for people to stay at home to save lives and ensure that the National Health Service does not become overwhelmed with new cases.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about lockdown measures in place and when they could be lifted, Dame Angela McLean, a mathematical biology professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford and the chief scientific adviser to the country\u2019s Ministry of Defense, said officials need more data on the virus\u2019 spread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is too early to tell yet. We need people to carry on following those instructions so we can work out three weeks later what happens in hospital,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Raab stressed that \u201cevery arm of government is doing everything we possibly can to defeat the coronavirus,\u201d and praised the doctors and nurses on the front lines as well as the grocery workers and truck drivers manning shops and delivering goods.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, 55,\u00a0tested positive for COVID-19, and was\u00a0admitted to the hospital Sunday.
