Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains in charge of the government despite being hospitalized in what his office described as a 'precautionary step' after contracting the new coronavirus.

Last Updated Monday, April 6, 2020 7:26AM EDTLONDON -- Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains in charge of the government despite being hospitalized in what his office described as a "precautionary step" after contracting the new coronavirus.

"I'm sure this is very frustrating for him, for somebody like Boris who wants to be hands running the government from the front, but nonetheless he's still very much in charge of the government." The 55-year-old leader had been quarantined in his Downing Street residence since being diagnosed with COVID-19 on March 26 -- the first known head of government to fall ill with the virus.

His admission to the hospital came as Queen Elizabeth II's broadcast message of hope was airing to the nation, urging the public to express resolve and follow advice to stay inside. The admission will mean that doctors will have direct access to him.
