World leaders, British royal family pray for PM’s speedy recovery

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancée Carrie Symonds, both suffering from coronavirus, have received thousands of messages of support from the British royal family and other leaders.

Johnson, who developed symptoms of COVID-19 12 days ago, was admitted to London’s St Thomas’ hospital on Sunday evening upon his doctor’s advice for further tests, but on Monday evening he was moved to ICU after he experienced breathing difficulties.

As the news surfaced, messages of support wishing him and Symonds a speedy recovery flooded in, not only from leaders around the world but also politicians from the ruling and opposition parties in the UK.

Prime Minister Imran Khan also conveyed his “best wishes and prayers for the earliest recovery and good health of PM [Boris Johnson]”.
