The research by Public Health England and Cambridge University suggests the reproduction rate of the virus, the ‘r’ is now at 0.4 in the capital. Meaning for every ten people who catch coronavirus, it will be passed on to just four others.
The research estimates that new daily infections in the capital are now at just 24
Before the lockdown, London’s r rate was around 2.8, with 213,000 people being infected a day by March 23rd, when the lockdown was imposed.

Covid alert levels system unveiled.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s speech on his roadmap for lockdown measures in England. He explains changes to lockdown measures and launches a threat level alert system.
BORIS JOHNSON GIVES COVID-19 UPDATE: Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks from Downing Street to address the state of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. Johnson is expected to reveal a ‘roadmap’ for how to ‘unlock the various parts of the UK economy,’ as the nation has been under a lockdown order for seven weeks. Though hesitant to ease any major social distancing guidelines, Johnson is hoping to find a way to restart some of the economy, let people travel for work, and have students return to school safely. Part of this plan would require people to wear facemasks in public to give people ‘confidence that they can go back to work.’ There are 220,500 coronavirus cases throughout the UK and almost 32,00 people have died— more than any other country in Europe.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled new coronavirus lockdown rules in England, including a controversial “stay alert” slogan. His approach is on par with other European countries, like Italy or Spain. Elizabeth Palmer reports.
The prime minister has outlined measures to start a gradual easing of the lockdown in England, while warning of the danger of a second surge of the pandemic. In a television address Boris Johnson said it was the right time to “update” the government’s message in England, from “stay at home” to “stay alert”.
But Labour warned that the new message lacked clarity. And the “stay at home” message is not being changed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
The Prime Minister’s plan urges anyone who can’t work from home to return to work, but to avoid using public transport if possible.
Coronavirus update – Prime Minister Boris Johnson laid out the “first careful steps” of easing the coronavirus lockdown as part of a three-phase plan to get back to normal life.

Boris Johnson has said the UK is “beginning to turn the tide” against the coronavirus pandemic but insisted the lockdown must go on to avoid a potentially devastating “second peak” of infections.
The Prime Minister made a statement outside Number 10 on his return to Westminster after recovering from a serious bout of Covid-19.
Mr Johnson – who is described as “raring to go” after a three-week absence from regular duties – addressed the public before leading a meeting of the “war cabinet” to thrash out the country’s next steps in tackling the crisis. He vowed to use the “maximum possible transparency” with the British people in sharing his calculations for lifting measures.
Boris Johnson has said there are real signs the UK is ‘passing through the peak’ as he made his first public statement since returning to work after recovering from coronavirus. Speaking outside 10 Downing Street on Monday, the prime minister added the government should only ease up on the lockdown when it is confident there will be no second peak

More than 20,000 people have now died in hospital in the UK after becoming infected with coronavirus. The government described it as “a tragic and terrible milestone”.
The number doesn’t included deaths in care homes or the community in England and Northern Ireland.
Previously the government’s chief scientific adviser had said that keeping deaths below 20,000 would be “a good outcome”.
Meanwhile Downing Street has announced that the Prime Minister Boris Johnson will return to work on Monday. It’s three weeks since he was admitted to intensive care suffering from the coronavirus infection.
