Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care after his condition worsened, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputise for him "where necessary".
A Number 10 spokesman said: "Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the prime minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the intensive care unit at the hospital.

People around him are being screened with the fast test and they’re taking temperatures as well.

“Just curious: What is the succession plan for a UK prime minister?”
The Conservative Party will elect a new leader and the Queen will ask that new leader (as the leader of the party with a majority in the House of Commons) to form a government.
Realistically if he is in the ICU he probably is on a ventilator. Not looking good for BoJo.
If the docs haven’t given him hydroxychloroquine then he is being assassinated.
The UK does not have a clear emergency succession plan for its prime minister
“The survival rate on a ventilator is more like 5%.”
40%
“...The Conservative Party will elect a new leader...”
PM is not the same thing as a president, but there actually is an order of succession:

[.it would be Dominic Raab ]
Outcomes are a bit worse for this one. I don’t trust China numbers or any study based on them, but reports from U.S. hospitals have said closer to 70% die once on vent.
Prayers sent for BoJo!
Bump for later. Hope I’ll never need it
Or maybe "The Trump Protocol"?
Making America Well Again!
Now a denial stating he’s NOT on a ventilator:

Indeed - just like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. Trudeau’s party in Canada lost the “national popular vote” in the last election - the Left didn’t complain since he was one of them.
“I wonder if they tried hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Zpack”
Everything is available to Boris. Obviously whatever has been used to date hasn’t worked.
Prayers up.
It’s possible that his O2 started to dip and given his VIP status they are being extra careful. Of course, this disease seems to follow a predictable course in many and a significant subset of those needing supplemental oxygen will end up on a ventilator in a matter of days if not hours.
Ha! It was a UK article
Just heard on the radio that he is NOT on a ventilator.
That’s why I’m asking.
