Boris Johnson was released from the hospital a little over a week ago, and he is "continuing to recover" from COVID-19, according to a new statement from his spokesperson.

The British Prime Minister "isn’t formally doing government work" right now, but he will speak with President Trump today, and with the Queen later this week, reinstating their weekly audiences. This will be the first time the British monarch and her PM have spoken in three weeks.

“Later this week, the Prime Minister is expected to have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen and that will be the first for, I believe, three weeks,” his spokesperson said, per ITV.

As the UK's lockdown continues, that conversation will almost certainly take place over the phone. The Queen is still social distancing at Windsor Castle, and Johnson is currently residing at the PM's country house, Chequers.

On March 27, Johnson announced that he was experiencing mild symptoms and had tested positive for COVID-19.

After experiencing persistent symptoms, the Prime Minister was admitted to the hospital for additional testing on April 5, and later, he was moved to the intensive care unit as his symptoms "worsened."

He spent three days in intensive care before returning to a separate ward, and finally leaving the hospital on April 12.

"It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life, " he said in a video on Twitter. "It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty, and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable."
