Coronavirus: Apostle Suleman Sends Message To Ill 'Friend' Boris Johnson

 

The President and General Overseer (GO) of the Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Suleman Johnson, has sent a message of support to Boris Johnson, the United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister who was admitted to intensive care after his coronavirus disease (COVID-19) worsened.

Allnews reports that the Prime Minister tested positive for the coronavirus on March 27 and was said to be suffering from “mild symptoms.”  But Johnson was admitted to St Thomas’ hospital in London Sunday evening for “tests” due to his “persistent symptoms.”

A statement from Downing Street said that over the course of Monday 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 (ICU) at the hospital.”

According to the BBC, Johnson had received oxygen Monday afternoon was moved to ICU in order to be nearer to a ventilator, if necessary.

Johnson’s team said Monday that the prime minister was still conscious and not yet on ventilation, however.  Johnson himself had tweeted Monday afternoon that he was in “good spirits.”

 

Last night, on the advice of my doctor, I went into hospital for some routine tests as I’m still experiencing coronavirus symptoms. I’m in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team, as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe.
