British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will return to work on Monday, after recovering from a coronavirus case that sent him to intensive care for three nights in early April.

This was confirmed by a Downing Street spokesman on Saturday,
Johnson 55 will regain control of a government under pressure from the economic consequences of closures designed to stem the spread of the highly contagious virus, as well as the high death toll.

As of Saturday, Britain had recorded more than 20,000 deaths due to Covid-19 disease, which is caused by the virus, making it the fifth country to reach the gloomy stage, according to the Associated Press.
The figure does not include deaths in elderly care homes, which can be in thousands.

Criticism is growing about the government's response to the epidemic, with limited evidence and a lack of protective equipment for medical workers and caregivers.

Johnson's deputy leader Dominic Rapp has faced questions about how Britain eased the blockade without a deadly second wave of infection.

The British Home Secretary urged the British to abide by the closure rules on Saturday. But many lawmakers want restrictions to boost the economy, which budget forecasters may reach its deepest recession in more than 300 years to ease it.

Johnson was transferred to St. Thomas Hospital in central London with symptoms of Covid-19 on April 5 and he spent 6 to 9 April in intensive care.
