		</div><p>UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s condition is <em>“improving”</em> and he is now “sitting up in bed” after spending two nights in intensive care with coronavirus, the Chancellor has said.</p>
<p>Rishi Sunak said the British Prime Minister has been <em>“engaging positively”</em> with the medics treating him in St Thomas’s Hospital in London on Wednesday.</p>
<p>But the boost came as the nation saw its record number of deaths in hospitals, with a rise of 938 taking the toll to at least 7,097, according to UK Department of Health figures.</p>
<p>Though significantly larger than the previous highest toll of 786, Deputy chief scientific adviser Professor Dame Angela McLean said new cases are not <em>“accelerating out of control”</em>.</p>
<p>Mr Sunak said UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is deputising for UK Prime Minister Johnson, will chair a Cobra emergency committee on Thursday to discuss the lockdown measures with leaders of the devolved nations.</p>
<p>Earlier, Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said the lockdown will not end in Wales next week, ahead of the UK-wide review into the restrictions.</p>
