British Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains in stable condition in an intensive care unit and has not been put on a ventilator.
Johnson spokesman James Slack says ``the prime minister has been stable overnight and remains in good spirits.
He is receiving standard oxygen treatment and is breathing without any other assistance.''
He said Johnson was not receiving mechanical ventilation and does not have pneumonia.
Johnson was admitted to St. Thomas' Hospital late Sunday with a fever and cough that persisted 10 days after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
He was moved to the intensive care unit Monday evening after his condition worsened.
