Report: UK PM Boris Johnson plans returning to work as soon as Monday

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning to return to work as early as Monday to take back control of the coronavirus crisis, the Telegraph reported.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is in charge as stand-in leader while Johnson recuperates from COVID-19 complications.

Earlier this month, Johnson was discharged from a London hospital and was continuing his recovery at his country residence of Chequers.

Johnson is facing criticism from opposition politicians and some epidemiologists for reacting too slowly to the virus outbreak.

Britain is at or near the peak of a health crisis with the number of deaths related to coronavirus hitting 18,738 – the fifth highest national death toll from the pandemic worldwide.
