英国财政大臣里什·苏纳克周三向公众介绍了英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊的最新情况，此前他因感染COVD-19型流感而被送入重症监护室。

“他得到了很好的照顾，”Sunak在新闻发布会上说。

“从医院传来的最新消息是首相仍在重症监护室，他的病情正在好转，”他继续说道。

“他一直坐在床上，积极参与临床团队。

“首相不仅是我的同事和老板，也是我的朋友，我和他以及他的家人在一起。”

约翰逊在周一晚上被转移后，正在重症监护室度过他的第三天当他的病情恶化时。

他透露自己于3月27日感染了新型冠状病毒。

在周三早上的更新中，唐宁街说约翰逊仍在伦敦圣托马斯医院，情况危急但很稳定，在那里他“情绪很好”。

“首相正在接受标准的氧气治疗，在没有帮助的情况下呼吸，”声明中说，类似于一个此前由唐宁街发布。

首相目前不在工作，他的职责在必要时由外交大臣多米尼克·拉布负责。

在此之前不久，约翰逊写的信被发送到英国的每个家庭，让人们对这种流行病放心:

鲍里斯·约翰逊在周一晚上被转移到重症监护室。

“我完全理解这种混乱给你的生活、商业和工作带来的困难，”约翰逊写道。

“但是我们采取的行动是绝对必要的，原因很简单。

“如果有太多的人同时变得严重不适，国民健康服务体系将无法应对。这会造成生命损失。我们必须减缓疾病的传播，减少需要住院治疗的人数，以挽救尽可能多的生命。

“这就是为什么我们给出一个简单的指令——你必须呆在家里。”

疾病控制和预防中心关于使用面部覆盖物减缓COVID-19传播的建议

• 疾病预防控制中心建议在难以保持社交距离的公共场合佩戴布质面罩。

• 一个简单的布质面部覆盖物可以帮助那些被感染者和没有表现出症状的人减缓病毒的传播。

• 布面可以由家用物品制成。指南由疾病预防控制中心提供。（http://www . CDC . gov/corona virus/2019-ncov/prevent-get-disk/DIY-cloth-face-covers . html)

• 应该定期清洗布面。洗衣机就够了。

• 通过不接触眼睛、鼻子和嘴来练习安全地去除面部覆盖物，并在去除覆盖物后立即洗手。

U.K. PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON IMPROVING AND SITTING UP IN BED

Chancellor Rishi Sunak updated the public on Wednesday about the condition of U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he was admitted to intensive care after contracting COVD-19.

"He is receiving excellent care," Sunak said in a press briefing.

"The latest from the hospital is that the prime minister remains in intensive care, where his condition is improving," he continued.

"He has been sitting up in bed and engaging positively with the clinical team.

"The prime minister is not only my colleague and my boss but also my friend, and my thoughts are with him and his family."

Johnson is spending his third day in intensive care after being moved on Monday evening when his condition worsened.

He revealed that he had contracted the novel coronavirus on March 27.

In an update on Wednesday morning, Downing Street said Johnson remained in a critical but stable condition at London's St. Thomas' hospital and is in "good spirits" while there.

"The PM is receiving standard oxygen treatment and breathing without assistance," the statement said, similar to one previously released by Downing Street.

The prime minister is not currently working and his duties are being covered by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab where necessary.

This comes shortly after letters, written by Johnson, were sent to every household in the U.K. to reassure people about the pandemic:

Boris Johnson was moved to intensive care on Monday evening.

"I understand completely the difficulties this disruption has caused to your lives, businesses and jobs," Johnson wrote.

"But the action we have taken is absolutely necessary, for one very simple reason.

"If too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to cope. This will cost lives. We must slow the spread of the disease, and reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment in order to save as many lives as possible.

"That is why we are giving one simple instruction—you must stay at home."

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advice on Using Face Coverings to Slow Spread of COVID-19

• CDC recommends wearing a cloth face covering in public where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

• A simple cloth face covering can help slow the spread of the virus by those infected and by those who do not exhibit symptoms.

• Cloth face coverings can be fashioned from household items. Guides are offered by the CDC. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html)

• Cloth face coverings should be washed regularly. A washing machine will suffice.

• Practice safe removal of face coverings by not touching eyes, nose, and mouth, and wash hands immediately after removing the covering.

World Health Organization advice for avoiding spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Hygiene advice

• Clean hands frequently with soap and water, or alcohol-based hand rub.

• Wash hands after coughing or sneezing; when caring for the sick; before, during and after food preparation; before eating; after using the toilet; when hands are visibly dirty; and after handling animals or waste.

• Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

• Avoid touching your hands, nose and mouth. Do not spit in public.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or bent elbow when coughing or sneezing. Discard the tissue immediately and clean your hands.

Medical advice

• Avoid close contact with others if you have any symptoms.

• Stay at home if you feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache and runny nose, to avoid potential spread of the disease to medical facilities and other people.

• If you develop serious symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing) seek medical care early and contact local health authorities in advance.

• Note any recent contact with others and travel details to provide to authorities who can trace and prevent spread of the disease.

• Stay up to date on COVID-19 developments issued by health authorities and follow their guidance.

Mask and glove usage

• Healthy individuals only need to wear a mask if taking care of a sick person.

• Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.

• Masks are effective when used in combination with frequent hand cleaning.

• Do not touch the mask while wearing it. Clean hands if you touch the mask.

• Learn how to properly put on, remove and dispose of masks. Clean hands after disposing of the mask.

• Do not reuse single-use masks.

• Regularly washing bare hands is more effective against catching COVID-19 than wearing rubber gloves.

• The COVID-19 virus can still be picked up on rubber gloves and transmitted by touching your face
