Prime Minister Boris Johnson is “in good spirits” after spending the night in intensive care being treated for coronavirus, No 10 has said.

Mr Johnson, 55, was stable overnight, is being given oxygen and is not on a ventilator, a spokesman added.

The Queen has sent a message to Mr Johnson’s family and pregnant partner, saying they are in her thoughts.

It comes as Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove became the latest politician to self-isolate.

Mr Gove said he did not have symptoms but a family member did. He is continuing to work at home.

As of 17:00 on 6 April, of those hospitalised in the UK who tested positive for coronavirus, 6,159 have died – a record increase of 786 in a day, the Department of Health and Social Care said, compared with 439 on Monday.

Mr Johnson was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital in central London with “persistent symptoms” of Coid-19 on Sunday and was moved to intensive care on Monday at 19:00 BST after his symptoms worsened.

Buckingham Palace said the Queen had sent a message to Mr Johnson’s family and his partner, Carrie Symonds, saying she was thinking of them, and wished the PM a full and speedy recovery.
