Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been discharged from the hospital. The 55-year-old United Kingdom leader was released this weekend, after spending eight days - including a brief stint in intensive care - battling coronavirus there, Variety reported. Although he is out, he will “not immediately go back to work.”

 Saturday Night Live   said goodbye to their longtime Music Producer Hal Willner. The closing moments of SNL’s Home Edition were a virtual tribute to Hal, who died from coronavirus this past week.
