Boris Johnson has said he owes his life to the NHS staff treating him for coronavirus.
In a statement released by No 10, the prime minister, 55, thanked medics at St Thomas' Hospital in London, where he continues to recover after spending three nights in intensive care.
It comes as UK deaths from the virus are expected to pass 10,000 on Sunday.
On Saturday, the UK recorded 917 new coronavirus deaths, taking total hospital deaths to 9,875.
Ministers are continuing to urge people to stay at home over the Easter weekend to curb the spread of the virus, despite warm and sunny weather across parts of the UK.

A family have been sent home by police after driving nearly 200 miles (322 km) to go fishing, despite restrictions being in place due to coronavirus.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the family from London was discovered near Torquay at about 05:00 BST.
Control room supervisor Mike Newton said they were fined and "escorted out of Devon", adding: "I shall refrain from further comment."
The government advice is to stay at home and away from others.
It repeated messages against holiday travel and to only go outside for food, health reasons or work where essential ahead of the Easter weekend.
On Friday Steve Darling, leader of Torbay Council said "For once this Easter we are asking visitors to stay away, to follow the government guidance and keep with social distancing.
"Our beautiful bay will still be here once we have tackled this awful virus and we hope to see you then."
Police have been patrolling beauty spots and roads into Devon and Cornwall over the weekend.
They have issued warnings saying the patrols are continuing on Sunday and "legislation will be enforced".

Just announced on radio 4 - Tim Brooke-Taylor (of `the Goodies' and more lately `Just a Minute') dead of coronavirus, aged 79.

Very sad - strange turn of phrase in the article though, describing him as having died "with" the coronavirus rather than "of" it. Never heard that used before.

Hello again from Italy!
Fortunately, southern Italy - and anyone who knows anything about Italy will tell you that those are three words that do not often get said in the same sentence.
We are now into our 5th week of lockdown. Nobody in our village has been affected and I know of only two or three cases within a 20 mile radius of us. Most people here are being sensible about things and my wife is a natural hoarder, so we were well stocked for any crisis.
I have just got back from taking my dog for a walk,very few people around, even though the weather here is gorgeous.
If I do catch it I would probably be a goner, since I had a heart attack a few years ago - actually died twice.
So, stay safe! I keep repeating the same, brilliant advice, that I heard from a UK medic. "Don't act like you don't want to catch it, act like you already have it and don't want to pass it on!"
P.s. do not believe a single word you are told by China.

Yet that is only about 4% or so of the Spanish Flu UK deaths 100 years ago.
To put these figures into perspective -
Public Health England estimates that on average 17,000 people have died from the flu in England annually between 2014/15 and 2018/19. However, the yearly deaths vary widely from a high of 28,330 in 2014/15 to a low of 1,692 in 2018/19.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said it "could have gone either way" as he thanked healthcare workers for saving his life after being discharged from hospital.
Mr Johnson, 55, was taken to London's St Thomas' Hospital on Sunday - 10 days after testing positive for Covid-19.
He had three nights in intensive care before returning to a ward on Thursday.
He said in a video on Twitter that two nurses stood by his bedside for 48 hours at the most critical time.
Mr Johnson said he had witnessed the "personal courage" of hospital staff who "kept putting themselves in harm's way, kept rising this deadly virus".
Downing Street said the PM would continue his recovery at his country residence, Chequers.
"On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work. He wishes to thank everybody at St Thomas' for the brilliant care he has received.
"All of his thoughts are with those affected by this illness."

We have plenty of PPE but only just been able to start testing staff. Lost our first patient to COVID-19 Friday night.
We did see a small drop in COVID-19 patients but has gone up again in the last couple of days. Changes not significant over a couple of days.

I have had enough of the idiots that can't follow a few simple laws. I have bitten my tongue long enough and every person I see ignoring is having some verbal/written abuse. So many people out and about visiting family for the sake of a 50p chocolate egg. Twats
I drove SWMBO to the care home where she works earlier and there was a bloke sat on a bench at the side of the main road eating a pie not only wasn't he exercising but he was blocking the pavement for anyone wanting to keep a distance, its time the police started to hand out fines these idiots need to get the message.

I’m finding the issue when walking through some residential areas you will get people on each side of the road talking, fair enough to some extent they are presumably in their own houses but it makes it very difficult to keep 2M distance when going for my once a day walk.
None they are welcome, i was looked after by these very people in my hour of need in 2018 at royal preston hospital

Police have been handed new powers to arrest people who continue to ignore coronavirus lock-down rules.
Those who flout the guidance issued by the government will be breaking the law and could face being arrested by police.
Here's everything you need to know.
What powers do police have?
Police officers in England were given the power to enforce rules on staying at home and avoiding non-essential travel as of 1pm on Thursday (March 26).
The new powers mean police can now order members of the public to return to their homes, or leave an area.
They are also able to disperse a group, using “reasonable force”, if necessary.
Officers can also take steps to ensure that parents are stopping their children from breaking the lockdown rules.
Similarly, people in Scotland who flout social distancing rules also face being fined by the police.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon revealed new emergency legislation had received Royal Assent, meaning police can now issue fines and arrest those who breach the coronavirus lockdown guidance.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said the now stricter powers were designed to "protect the public and keep people safe".
What fines could I face?
People who ignore the restrictions on movement could be landed with an initial fine of £60, followed by a fine of £120 if a second offence is made, the Home Office has warned.
According to the guidance, the cost of initial fixed penalty notices will be cut to £30 if they are paid within 14 days.
Those who do not pay could be taken to court and risk facing costs for unlimited fines.
Refusing to provide police with a name and address to avoid being given a fine is an arrestable offence.
The Home Office said: "If an individual continues to refuse to comply, they will be acting unlawfully, and the police may arrest them where deemed proportionate and necessary.
"However, in the first instance, the police will always apply their common sense and discretion."
How long will lockdown rules be in place?
Known as the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020, similar rules will be in place across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
The Regulations state they are made "in response to the serious and imminent threat to public health" posed by Covid-19, and the Government considers the "restrictions and requirements imposed by these regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve."
The rules will be in place for an emergency period which must be reviewed at least once every 21 days, starting on April 16.
How will the powers be enforced?
The news of the stricter enforcements comes after Derbyshire Police said people continued to drive to the Peak District for walks despite warnings to stay at home.
Other forces across the UK have also revealed plans on how they will police the rules.
North Yorkshire Police said officers would be on foot patrol and stopping motorists at "checkpoints" from Thursday (March 26).
Drivers will be asked where they are going, why they are going there, and reminded of the rules on staying at home, according to the force.
Welsh force Dyfed-Powys, which covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys, said it would be carrying out "high visibility patrols" and stop-checks on vehicles to make sure only those which need to travel are doing so.
Meanwhile, several other forces said they had closed police stations to the public in a bid to curb the spread of the virus, instead urging them to contact officers by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency.

Three cheers for the brave lads and lasses in our nhs and also to the shop workers who are risking life and limb to keep us all supplied with food.
They really are on the "Front line"

Not at all Chippy.
I am astounded by the sheer cognitive dissonance displayed by those Brexit voters currently hanging out their front doors banging pots for the brave NHS workers that are saving the UK.
No need to delete or chide, that's the last I'll comment on the matter.
