They do not put "slightly" poorly people in ICU on the whim, going in there requires invasive medical procedures, they would also not have put him in there, if the benefit had not outweighed the risk of further infection to him and to others.

Unless, of course, it’s preventative, as he(and other Government Ministers) are high-profile and high-impact if they do get very poorly, and it would be a proper risk prevention method to put him in there when he needed oxygen.
He only had a mask - he was not put on a ventilator or had invasive procedures; and as I said before, he walked out of the hospital three days later.
Being "high risk" is not the same as "nearly dying"…
