The UK Prime Minister has thanked the NHS staff who are looking after him.

Boris Johnson has posted on social media to say that on the advice of his doctor, on Sunday evening he was taken to a London hospital for "routine tests".

It's after he was diagnosed with coronavirus over ten days ago and still has symptoms.

He wrote on Twitter: "I'm in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team, as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe."

The PM added: "I'd like to say thank you to all the brilliant NHS staff taking care of me and others in this difficult time. You are the best of Britain."

Mr Johnson tested positive for coronavirus, known specifically as Covid-19, on 27 March.

He has followed the guidance of the NHS and self-isolated away from other people in his house since then.

While he's officially well enough to still be able to lead the UK, other members of his government have led media discussions about the virus in his absence.

He was supposed to hold a coronavirus meeting on Monday morning but Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab filled in for him.

On social media, the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, wished the PM "all the best and a speedy recovery".

Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster said she would pray for the Prime Minister and said she was: "Wishing him a speedy recovery. Keep safe and stay strong everyone."

Mark Drakeford, the Welsh First Minister, posted: "Hoffwn ddymuno gwellhad buan a llawn BorisJohnson - brysiwch wella," which he translated as: "I'd like to wish Boris Johnson a speedy and full recovery - get well soon."

The Labour Party's new leader, Keir Starmer, also wished Mr Johnson well, saying he hoped he had a "speedy recovery".

And Sadiq Khan, who followed Boris Johnson as London Mayor, said: "Sending my very best to the Prime Minister and wishing him a swift recovery."

Leaders from all over the world have also offered their support.

United States President, Donald Trump, said: "All Americans are praying for him. He's a great friend of mine, a great gentleman and a great leader."

He added that he was sure Boris Johnson would be fine because he is "a strong person".

Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, tweeted: "You're a fighter and you will overcome this challenge as well.

"Prayers for your good health and best wishes in ensuring a healthy UK", he added.

The Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa, also echoed his country's support to the UK PM.
