Boris Johnson could be given up to four litres of oxygen and specialist breathing aids as he battles coronavirus in intensive care.
The Prime Minister could be given specialist medical support tailored to fight the virus- such as the aid known as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - as he fights the virus in London's St Thomas' Hospital.
Johnson, 55, could be set for the invasive procedure, which bridges the gap between an oxygen mask and full ventilation, reports Birmingham Live.
Mr Johnson could also have blood and samples from his throat collected according to guidance issued to doctors fighting Covid-19 by the World Health Organisation (WHO) last month.
