It's hard to read this, he might well be in hospital as a precaution, but we all know that if he was in a bad way, Downing Street would've run with the precaution story any way. From a political/PR standpoint, Johnson going to hospital is not what the government would've wanted, which leads me to believe it's worse than they're letting on, then again his doctor might have read the riot act and told him in no uncertain terms to go to hospital like right now.
Either way, it's worrying on a personal and political level.
It is difficult to read but personally I’m not convinced you take someone to hospital as a ‘precaution’ during a pandemic. As PM he will naturally have access to a level of medical care at home that the rest of us will not so to hospitalise him indicates something serious enough to warrant the negative optics and impact on the currency and stock market.
