Johnson had been diagnosed with coronavirus in late March and was admitted to the hospital 10 days later.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said “contingency plans” were being made because he was ill in the hospital receiving “liters and liters of oxygen” while fighting the coronavirus.
Johnson spent three nights in intensive care at a London hospital and told the Sun it was “hard to believe” how quickly his body deteriorated.
“He was not in particularly bright shape and he knew there were contingency plans in place,” Johnson told the Sun.
“The doctors had all kinds of arrangements for what to do if things went wrong.”

It was the prime minister’s first press conference since he fell ill with Covid-19.
“They had a strategy to deal with a ‘Stalin’s death’ scenario.
“They gave me a mask, so I got gallons and gallons of oxygen and for a long time I had that and a small nose.”

Johnson and his fiancé Carrie Symonds named their first child after doctors who treated the Prime Minister.
He said he knew he was going to fight because the “indicators kept going in the wrong direction” while he was in the hospital.
“The bad time came when I was 50-50 if they were going to have to put a tube in my windpipe.
“It was then that he got a little bit … they were starting to think about how to handle it presentationally.”
Johnson says he felt “lucky” to recover in time to see the birth of his son Wilfred.
Previously, Carrie Symonds, Johnson’s fiancee, revealed that they had named their baby Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, in tribute to her grandparents and the two doctors who treated Johnson while fighting Covid-19.
