But we're all working together to implement the plan that the prime minister set out Shortly after this interview, Michael Gove confirmed he was self isolating after a family member should symptoms.

This violence is impacting the very top of government at the time of unprecedented challenge.

For now, a normal political life is on hold.

I know the business of government will continue as in touch with private sector last night and I want to say that the Labour Party will act in the national interest and that's why I offered toe act constructively with the government and support of my That's the right thing to do.

Push them further where we need to do it.

Boris is a very tough, very resilient, very fit person.

I know that from facing on the tennis court, and I'm sure he'll come through this.

Friends of the prime minister sees a fatal and he's a pretty fit guy.

But you know, he plays tennis very well to a high standard he runs regularly on.

I think, if anyone's got a chance of beating this than Boris Johnson's got a chance to do that.

Unprecedented health emergency for the country, on unprecedented situation in government and on uncertain road ahead.

As we heard Downing Street says the prime minister has been receiving standard oxygen treatment in an intensive care unit at ST Thomas's Hospital, but he hasn't required mechanical ventilation on I See Award provides treatment and close monitoring for patients who are too seriously ill to be cared for in other parts of the hospital.

Here's our health correspondent Richard Galpin.

Intensive care units are where severely ill patients are brought their lives potentially at risk.

Prime Minister was taken into intensive care unit like this one yesterday after his condition deteriorated.

He was conscious, given oxygen Vyron mask but not put on a mechanical ventilator.

But most patients do need ventilation quite soon.

So what's it like to be on a ventilator, which takes over the breathing process To be able to cope with that breathing machine, one needs to be very heavily sedated and usually given a paralyzing agent a bit like your Ari.

That starts the muscles working so the breathing machine can do its work.

The patients are often a nurse, lying flat in a rotation between life at in their tummy and on their backs.

In a roughly 16 hour cycle, the doctors and nurses working in these intensive care units are constantly checking their patients.

In normal times, you might expect the blood pressure, your heart rate, your breathing rate would be recorded probably once every few hours, perhaps slightly more frequently if they're quite unwell in intensive care, we do it continuously.

On There's a monitored by the nurse's station that can be monitored all the time, even when a nurse isn't at the bedside so we can keep a much closer eye on people.

Johnson may also have a special needle into one of his arteries that allows us to take blood samples that can very accurately monitors blood oxygen levels.

Going through intensive care is, of course, a very difficult experience.

Getting out of hospital is a huge relief.

I came out last week on Monday on the I Don't know, but I came out.

I just felt I didn't just coming out of hospital.

And because it was a lonely period one sounds in their hearts are nobody really?

And to be in on my family, uh, unwto just now I try to get out in the garden and get fresh air on, Uh, I'm ready.

Doing so well now, Assuming Boris Johnson recovers and is discharged from hospital, how quickly would you be able to return to work if this is a short term thing and he responds, well, just needs a little bit of oxygen and recovers over the coming few days.

Then he will probably feeling gate regaining his strength over the next week to 10 days.

Downing Street says Boris Johnson is not on a ventilator at the moment, but he years getting oxygen using a mask.

Well, we can speak now to Charlotte Gallagher, who's outside ST Thomas's Hospital in central London, where the prime minister is.

Boris Johnson remains in intensive carrots and Thomas's Hospital return on.

We heard some positive news that he's remaining in a stable condition.

He's being given oxygen, but crucially, he's not on a ventilator on.

That means he's breathing without mechanical assistance at the moment.

Behind me, the hospital looks a bit different to how it usually does.

They've erected security hoarding around the building, police officers patrolling.

There is every entrance and exit checking people's passes because this is such a serious, unprecedented on dramatic situation, there's other people in there being treated for Corona virus in the intensive care unit.

Obviously, people very seriously unwell, incredibly worrying for lots of people's relatives, including Boris Johnson's, his friends and family.

They won't be able to visit him in hospital because the virus is just so infectious.

Way know that his partner, she's pregnant and she's isolating at home as well after showing symptoms herself.

So lots of people in government being affected by this virus.

We've heard lots of well wishes from people around the country.

Just recently, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine and William.

They sent their best wishes on Twitter to Boris Johnson and everyone who's been affected by Corona virus around the world wishing them a speedy recovery.

We also heard from an NHS Dr Rita, he said.

One thing that we shouldn't forget is lots of people are recovering.

Lots of people there getting the treatment they need on their getting better.
