London: Boris Johnson is "responding to treatment" as he remains in a stable condition in a London hospital's intensive care unit where he is being treated for coronavirus, Downing Street says.

The Prime Minister continued to be in "good spirits" on Wednesday after spending his third night in St Thomas's Hospital, his official spokesman said.

Johnson, 55, was said to be no longer working while following the advice of doctors and receiving just the "standard oxygen treatment" and "breathing without any other assistance".

When asked about further specifics about his condition or treatment, the spokesman said the update includes all the information the PM's medical team "considers to be clinically relevant".
