This does not sound good, it's been ten days since he was tested positive.
Update BBC reporting he has been moved to ICU
The UK PM first tested positive for coronavirus 10 days ago, experiencing what his team called "mild symptoms".
However, earlier today, his spokesman said the symptoms had become "persistent", and he was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital on Sunday evening.
A statement from Downing Streets says: “Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the prime minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.
“The PM has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise for him where necessary.
“The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication."

I'm so sorry to hear this. No one should have to suffer through this virus.

Hopefully they are just being cautious.

They’re saying precautionary- I suppose they would. And while we’re on the subject have we heard any more about Chris Whitty?

I'm not surprised, he has been looking less well each time we've seen him. Hope we hear good news soon.
There doesn't seem to have been an update on Chris Whitty for days. I hope he's recovering.

Yes, he didn’t look good did he. I haven’t heard a word about Mr Whitty...I want to hear his input again. I hope they’re both ok. It’s worrying...

I'm just hoping it's precautionary. I do hope he'll be OK Maybe not a good idea for him to have carried on working though. Chris Whitty is still posting on his twitter account gillyp but haven't read anything about the state of his health though.

I'm curious about the wording, saying he is in for routine tests rather than monitoring of symptoms. Wishing the best for him either way.

Last post was two days ago but they've all been scientific/research info about the virus. If they were isolating for the 7 days like they said they would, he should have " surfaced" a couple of days ago but as you say no sign of him.

Yes, going in for tests is a bit vague since we know he’s COVID positive. I hope he’s ok. Apart from his leadership, his partner is pregnant so I’m sure she’s very concerned. Exactly @dottyscrapper - seems ages since he was at a daily briefing. Hopefully he’s just being allowed time to fully recover.

She's also got it, she's been in bed for a week but did post on twitter that she was now recovering. Worrying for her as she's pregnant and now this on top of it.

Wishing him a full recovery. I was a picture of him recently and thought he looked quite poorly.

Not about Boris. What is wrong with some people. Some seem to think there's one rule for them and another for the rest of the people LINK

Very concerning. I presumed that ‘further tests’ was to check for pneumonia.

I'm very sorry to hear about your Prime Minister. I like the guy and I hope he recovers quickly.
On another note, how proud you must be of your Queen. She is one in a million!

Laughing at myself that my first thought on seeing him was “oh good, he looks well” & my second thought was “must make sure the peas know”!!!

Typical inane, repetitive questions from some journalists though. Smh.
