During his address to the nation imposing strict measures to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, Boris Johnson announced that police will have greater powers to discipline those not following the rules.
In unprecedented measures, the Prime Minister announced that the UK was to go into lockdown with people ordered to stay home and only leave the house in a few circumstances.
Mr Johnson said people are to only leave the house for one of the following reasons: shopping for basic necessities; one form of exercise a day; a medical need; travelling to work if absolutely necessary..
Libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms and places of worship will also shut with only funerals being allowed to take place.
