A nationwide minute's silence is being planned to remember key workers who have died during the coronavirus pandemic. The commemorative move has been announced by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesperson.
Mr Johnson, who returned to work on Monday after battling the virus himself which left him in intensive care for three days, will take part in the minute's silence as well as government workers.
The nation are also being asked if they can observe the silence at 11am on Tuesday. It comes after the Unison union, the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Nursing launched a campaign last week for the nation to take a moment to honour frontline staff who have died during the Covid-19 crisis.
