British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to re-head the government starting Monday after his Covid illness 19. The 55-year-old politician will return to his Downing Street office in London earlier in the week, a spokesman for his office on Saturday night.

Johnson tested positive for Covid-19 in late March, then was taken to a clinic and transferred to an intensive care unit for a few days after his condition worsened. Secretary of State Dominic Raab directed the government during his hospital stay and rest at Checkers, the British government’s country house.

The prime minister will have to find an answer on how and when public restrictions can be lifted without risking a second wave of infection. The Johnson government is accused of responding to the virus outbreak more slowly than other European countries. The number of officially reported crown deaths in the country is now more than 20,000. For a long time there was only comparatively little testing, and there was also a lack of protective equipment for employees in clinics.

The “blockade” puts strong pressure on the world’s fifth largest economy. Experts say it could slide into the worst recession in more than 300 years. Therefore, many MPs are calling for the restrictions to be relaxed to stimulate the economy.
