British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved into an intensive care unit as he battles coronavirus. A statement from No 10 Downing Street said that Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab would take temporary charge of the country.
"Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the prime minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the intensive care unit," the statement said.
