Hours after being discharged from hospital, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said in a video message that the country's National Health Service (NHS) 'saved my life, no question.'
Johnson, who has been battling COVID-19 for more than two weeks, first entered hospital on April 5 and was admitted to intensive care one day later. He spent three nights in the ICU, before being released back into the regular hospital ward on April 9.
In a video posted to Twitter Sunday afternoon, Johnson suggested that his coronavirus battle was, at one point, extremely serious. He began: “I have today left hospital after a week in which the NHS saved my life, no question.” “In the last seven days, I have of course seen the pressure the NHS is under. I have seen the personal courage, not just of the doctors and nurses, but everyone…who have kept putting themselves in harm’s way, kept risking this deadly virus. It’s thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable.”
