British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's condition was said to be "improving" on Wednesday, as he spent the third day in intensive care battling the coronavirus.
The disease has struck at the heart of the British government, infected more than 60,000 people across nationwide and killed over 7,000, with another record daily toll reported on Wednesday.
"The latest from the hospital is that the prime minister remains in intensive care where his condition is improving," finance minister Rishi Sunak said at a briefing.
He has been sitting up in bed and engaging positively with the clinical team."
Earlier, Johnson's official spokesman said he remained "clinically stable and is responding to treatment, describing the 55-year-old Conservative leader as being in "good spirits".
The update came as newspapers urged Britons to keep their stricken leader at the forefront of their minds, with a lockdown to try to stem the spread of COVID-19 now in its third week.
"He stayed at work for you... now, pray at home for him," The Sun tabloid splashed across its front page. "Boris 'will pull through'" said the Daily Express.
