One person the National Health Service (NHS) is treating is Prime Minister Johnson, who emerged from three nights of intensive care on Thursday after entering hospital on Sunday as his symptoms of COVID-19 persisted. "The good news is that the government in his absence has been functioning very efficiently, very effectively," he said. "We don't have enough information yet to make any changes to the social distancing arrangements," Hancock said. Hancock said the death toll had reached 8,958 people as of 1600 GMT on April 9 - the fifth highest in the world. "We are confident that he complied with the social distancing rules," Johnson's spokesman said.
