- A New Zealand nurse who treated British Prime Minister Boris Johnson while he was in hospital with the coronavirus said she saw the world leader as “just another patient” and that she thought he was joking when he singled her out for praise.
“There was a lot of media interest about him being in hospital and, to be honest, that was the toughest,” McGee told TVNZ in an interview which aired on Thursday, her first public remarks since the episode. Johnson, 55, was taken to Guys and St Thomas’ hospital on April 5 after his symptoms for COVID-19 worsened and he was moved into intensive care the following day, remaining there until April 9.
When Johnson sent that public message, McGee said in the interview, she was getting ready for her nightshift and a friend texted her the update.As McGee carried out intensive care duties, she and said she and the prime minister “spent a lot of time together and we talked away about NZ”, particularly about her home city of Invercargill, which she said he took an interest in.
