Boris Johnson is back in Downing Street to steer Coronavirus response
It follows a period of recuperation at Chequers
Boris Johnson is back in Downing Street, having returned to take charge of the Government's response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The Prime Minister is resuming full-time duties at the head of the Government three weeks after he was hospitalised with the disease.
He will chair the regular morning meeting of the Government's Covid-19 "war cabinet" before heading into a series of meetings with senior ministers and officials.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab - who has been deputising for him in his absence - said he was "raring to go" after a fortnight convalescing at Chequers, his official country residence.
He arrived back on Sunday evening to a growing clamour from senior Tories to begin lifting the lockdown amid mounting concern at the damage it is causing to the economy.
