Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will step in and perform Johnson's duties.
"Before [Johnson] went he asked Dominic Raab to deputise for him," tweeted the BBC's Lewis Goodall. "As far as coronavirus is concerned, Raab is the effective acting Prime Minister."

Goodall added in a tweet at about 3:30 p.m. ET that the PM was conscious and had been moved to the ICU in the event that he required ventilation.
Johnson tested positive for COVID-19, the official name for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, on March 27. He was first admitted into the hospital on Sunday for what Downing Street described as "routine tests."
“This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus ten days after testing positive for the virus," a spokesperson said in a statement.
