British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was discharged from St. Thomas' Hospital in London on Sunday to finish recovering from the coronavirus at a country home, according to CNN.

The big picture: Johnson was diagnosed with COVID-19 in March and admitted to the hospital last Sunday before being moved to the ICU a day later. 

He was moved from the ICU Thursday. "I can't thank them enough," Johnson said in a statement to news outlets about National Health Service hospital staff. "I owe them my life."
