55-year-old Boris Johnson returned to work Monday after a three week absence due to coronavirus.
Being infected with coronavirus, the Prime Minister spent several days in intensive care, but is back, and this week issued a statement which said there were indications that the country «turned the tide».
Child – first child for 32-year-old Carrie Simonds and sixth for Boris Johnson. The boy had to be born in early summer.
Boris Johnson has previously stated that he intends to take leave to care for a child within two weeks after the birth of her son, but it is unclear if he will do it, given the severity of the ongoing global pandemic.
Former Prime Ministers of great Britain David Cameron and Tony Blair also took leave to care for a child.
When a few months ago, Johnson and Symonds announced the pregnancy Carrie, the couple also announced their intention to get married, although the wedding date has not yet been appointed.
