Boris Johnson Thanks Medics As UK Deaths Pass 10,000
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson left hospital on Sunday and thanked staff for saving his life from COVID-19, but his government was forced to defend its response to the coronavirus outbreak as the national death toll passed 10,000.
The sombre milestone came after Britain reported two days in a row of hospital deaths increasing by more than 900.
Friday’s death toll of 980 surpassed the highest daily total recorded in Italy, the hardest-hit country in Europe so far.
Reflecting the gravity of the emergency, Queen Elizabeth issued the first Easter message in her 68-year reign.
