Boris Johnson says this is moment of maximum risk

 

Live Desk: The UK is at the moment of maximum risk in the coronavirus outbreak, Boris Johnson has said, as he urged people not to lose patience with the lockdown.
Speaking outside No 10 for the first time since recovering from the virus, Mr Johnson said "we are now beginning to turn the tide" on the disease.

But he said he refused to "throw away" the public's "effort and sacrifice" and relax the lockdown too soon. More details on any changes will be given in the "coming days", he added. On Tuesday at 11:00 BST, a minute's silence will be held to commemorate key workers who have died with the virus. Mr Johnson and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have both invited the country to take part.

The latest government figures brought the total number of people who have died with the virus in UK hospitals to 20,732, after a further 413 were announced on Sunday.
Daily figures released separately on Monday show a further 329 people have died in England, 13 in Scotland, 10 in Northern Ireland, and eight in Wales.

The numbers for each nation differ slightly from the UK government's daily figures because of the timeframe they cover.
