Since being discharged from St Thomas' Hospital in London on April 12, Johnson has been recuperating at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence. During his convalescence he has not been doing official work, although he did speak to Queen Elizabeth II and President Donald Trump last week, according to his office. Britain is among the worst-affected countries in Europe, with more than 20,000 deaths and 153,000 infections.
