Boris Johnson has released a video on Twitter expressing his gratitude for the NHS who helped him fight coronavirus.
He was discharged from St Thomas' Hospital earlier today.
He said: "It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life."
"The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it.
"Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past."
The Prime Minister said he personally saw the pressure that the NHS is under while at St Thomas' Hospital in central London for the past week.
It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.

He added: "In the last seven days, I have of course seen the pressure that the NHS is under.
"I have seen the personal courage not just of the doctors and nurses but of everyone - the cleaners, the cooks, the health care workers of every description. Physios, radiographers, pharmacists - who have kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm's way, kept risking this deadly virus.
"It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable."
