He has been recuperating at Chequers, the prime minister’s residence outside London, after he was released from hospital on April 12.
Johnson spent a week undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel virus, at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, including three nights in intensive care after his condition dramatically deteriorated.
Johnson is understood to have held a three-hour meeting on Friday ahead of his return with senior cabinet members including Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who has been deputising for him.
Johnson’s return to work comes at a crucial time, as pressure mounts on the government to ease coronavirus lockdown measures.
On Saturday, the COVID-19 death toll in Britain surpassed 20,000, according to the most recent information from the Health Ministry.
