The National Health Service figure does not include deaths in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. A figure for the whole U.K. will be released later.
Johnson's office said he left St. Thomas' Hospital and will continue his recovery at Chequers, the prime minister's country house. "I can't thank them enough," Johnson said in his first public statement since he was moved out of intensive care Thursday night. "I owe them my life." But he was admitted to St. Thomas' on April 5 after his condition worsened and he was transferred the following day to its intensive care unit, where he received oxygen but was not put onto a ventilator. He spent three nights there before moving back to a regular hospital ward.
But Johnson's Conservative government has come under fire for its slow response to confronting the pandemic -- allowing tens of thousands to gather at the Cheltenham horse racing festival in mid-March, for example. It's also faced criticism for its slow rollout of a coronavirus testing program. On Saturday, Britain reported 917 new coronavirus-related deaths in its hospitals for an overall death toll of 9,875. The U.K. total only includes deaths in hospitals.
Blah blah blah...poor Boris...while hundreds of thousands have or will die
That's good
Congrats Boris. Can guarentee you that some of these staff that saved u were immigrants or children of immigrants. Please don't be a xenophobic snob anymore
