power vacuum

British prime minister Boris Johnson has spent a second night in intensive care battling coronavirus – and there are concerns that his absence has left a power vacuum in Number 10. Meanwhile US president Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw World Health Organisation funding, accusing it of being "China-centric". The city at the centre of the outbreak, Wuhan, has ended its nearly three-month lockdown. It comes 100 days after the Chinese government announced the detection of the virus.
