The UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, is expected to return to work soon after his recovery from Covid-19, as pressure mounts on his government to explain how to get Britain out of lockdown.
Mr Johnson, 55, has been recuperating at his official country retreat, Chequers, since his release from hospital in London on 12 April.
He spent three days in intensive care and later admitted that "things could have gone either way", forcing him to take it easy before returning to the political fray.
But there have been increasing signs his return to Downing Street could be imminent, after officials said he had spoken to Queen Elizabeth and also the United States president, Donald Trump.
