Boris Johnson needed oxygen support in ICU, now 'stable'

British prime minister Boris Johnson was stable in intensive care on Tuesday after receiving oxygen support to help him battle COVID-19, while his foreign minister led the government’s response to the outbreak.

Johnson, 55, was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital across the River Thames from the House of Commons late on Sunday after suffering persistent coronavirus symptoms, including a high temperature and a cough, for more than 10 days.

But his condition rapidly deteriorated over the next 24 hours, and he was moved on Monday to an intensive care unit, where the most serious cases are treated, in case he needed to be put on a ventilator. He was still conscious, his office said.

Every state has their own labs.... To do the tests... But all samples should be sent to Pune or Delhi to officially claim it a positive...  Because India recognized only when they are tested in those 2 officially recognized Infectious Diseases labs ...Its an Age old Rule...

In these Hard times they might have loosened their rules a little ..
