The NHS will restart some vital services, including cancer care, from Tuesday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said, as he admitted the Government has a "lot of work" to do to hit its 100,000 a day testing target.
Speaking at the daily Downing Street press briefing, Mr Hancock also announced a life assurance scheme to pay £60,000 to the families of those frontline NHS and social care workers who have died in the course of their duties.
It comes as England's chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said the coronavirus epidemic in the UK still has a "very long way to run" and there was "no perfect solution" to easing the lockdown, adding there were "difficult choices" to be made.
