Coronavirus in UK

In the UK, there are more than 17,000 confirmed cases and at least 1,019 people have died.

NHS England medical director Stephen Powis has warned that "every one of us has a part to play" if the UK is to keep the death toll under 20,000.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has himself tested positive for the virus, announced a clampdown on 23 March, urging people to stay at home to avoid unnecessary transmission of the disease.

Nearly 104,000 people have been tested for the virus but were found not to have it. The actual number of people with the respiratory infection in the country is estimated to be much higher.
