Downing Street has refused to rule out tightening the lockdown even further if people start flouting restrictions. Data shows that the majority of Brits are complying with the demand to stay at home unless strictly necessary with public transport usage right down and the streets largely empty.
But car traffic rose for the first time in two weeks in yesterday's figures, leading health figures to voice their "concern".
Police have been accused of being too heavy handed in some interventions and have been told to take a "consistent" approach.
Public Health England's Medical Director Professor Paul Cosford warned that the lockdown is "nowhere near" ending yet with cases expected to keep rising for up to two to three weeks.
