Johnson has been at St Thomas Hospital in Westminster since he was transferred there on Monday night.
Doctors gave Boris his two mobile phones back after 72 tense hours in the ICU ward and now he is expected to need up to a month off.
The birth of their son with Mrs. Symonds is only a few weeks away and the couple have been separated since they became isolated on March 27.
His relieved fiancé posted a photo of a rainbow with emojis clapping after the good news, timing for the 8pm applause Thursday night.
‘TREMENDOUSLY GRATEFUL’
Johnson’s father Stanley Johnson said the whole family was “tremendously grateful” to the NHS for helping the prime minister.
He also said they were “incredibly grateful for the large amount of support” from the public.
Johnson Snr told Radio 4’s Today show that his son now needs to recover.
He explained: “You must rest. As I understand it, he moved from the ICU to a recovery unit, but I don’t think this can be said to be out of the woods right now.

“You have to take the time. I can’t believe you can get away from this and head straight back to Downing Street and pick up the reins without a period of readjustment.
The Prime Minister’s progress came as a great moral boost for the nation as we entered the key period of Easter in the fight against the coronavirus.
A spokesman for No. 10 said: “The Prime Minister was transferred from intensive care tonight to the ward, where he will be closely followed during the first phase of his recovery.
“He is in a very good mood.
Authorities believe the infection rate could peak at Easter Sunday.
But it is critical that the British observe the closure and stay home at temperatures of 25C (77F).
TURN THE TIDE
The Government hopes that this will allow the country to change course in three weeks.
Johnson, 55, texted back to No. 10 from the hospital yesterday.
His official spokesman said: “The Prime Minister thanks the NHS for the brilliant attention it is providing.
“The applause for caregivers has provided wonderful and unifying moments for the entire country.
“I am sure that tonight we will again see millions of people paying tribute to our fantastic dedicated workers.”
‘SICK WITH CONCERN’
Tory’s main allies and assistants in n. ° 10 were relieved last night and one admitted that they had all been “very sick with concern” for Mr. Johnson.
The Prime Minister’s recovery marks an extraordinary turnaround from the serious problems he faced just 72 hours ago.
After a terrifying initial 24 hours in the hospital, hope had grown to number 10 since Wednesday that the prime minister was on the road to recovery.
The main aides feared the worst on Monday night due to Boris’s extraordinarily rapid decline.
He was having a hard time breathing, and doctors warned him that he would likely have to use a ventilator if his condition worsened further.
