The last time Prime Minister Johnson appeared at the Downing Street press conference was March 26. The British public is concerned about his actions after returning to work on Monday.
British Prime Minister Johnson will return to Downing Street to continue his leadership full time after two weeks of recovering from infection with the new coronavirus.
During the Prime Minister’s illness, Foreign Secretary Rab, who was acting as the head of the British government, said Prime Minister Johnson had eagerly awaited a return to his post.
After being admitted to the hospital on April 5, Prime Minister Johnson spent a week in the hospital, including spending 3 nights in the intensive care unit.
During his hospitalization, he received oxygen therapy regularly.
After being released from the hospital on April 12, Johnson suggested that his condition was unclear and praised the staff who treated him at St Thomas Hospital in central London.
According to the medical council, Johnson did not formally participate in any government work during the convalescence of the Prime Minister’s Casa de Campo Checkers after being discharged from the hospital.
But last week, he had a phone conversation with the Queen of England and the President of the United States, Trump, and met with senior government officials, including Rab and Chancellor of the Exchequer Sunak, to discuss the next stage of the response. of the United Kingdom to the new coronavirus epidemic.
Rab told BBC political affairs editor Andrew Marr that the Prime Minister’s return to work is good news, and his return will help boost confidence in the British government and the country.

Even in the UK, even during the city shutdown where the government asked the public to work hard to avoid going out unnecessarily, large supermarkets continued to operate, only restricting the number of customers in the store and requiring customers to maintain social distance.
As of Saturday (April 25, 2020), the number of deaths from new registered Coronavirus infections in the UK exceeded 20,000. This is currently the fifth highest number of deaths from the new coronavirus in the world, and does not include the number of deaths from new coronaviruses in nursing homes and communities.
Critics said that after the threat of the New Corona Virus in the UK became apparent, Prime Minister Johnson’s response was too slow, and the Liberal Democratic Party called for an open investigation into the high death rate.
But Rab defended the way Britain handled the crisis. He said that if ministers do not heed scientific advice and make critical decisions at the right time, the death toll will be higher.
Furthermore, Rab expressed the need to be careful in answering the question of when the British government will avoid preventing epidemics and said that even if people should be sealed, they need to maintain a certain social distance and believes that there will be a new normal for schools , sports and commercial activities.
The British media revealed that although the British business community and some people called on the government to lift the current strict blockade as soon as possible and resume economic and social activities as soon as possible, Prime Minister Johnson allegedly believed that more caution was needed to avoid repeated epidemics.
