On April 6 he was moved into intensive care, where he remained until April 9. "I can't thank them enough. I owe them my life," Johnson said of the staff at the hospital. Johnson was back on his feet by Friday, taking short walks between periods of rest, in what his office described as the early stage of recovery.   Britain's COVID-19 death toll neared 10,000 on Saturday, the fifth highest national number globally, after officials reported another 917 hospital deaths.
