welcome everyone to the government's daily briefing.

I'm joined today by the chief executive of the N HS, Simon Stevens on the Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jenny Harris.

I'd like to update you all on the fax on the spread off covered 19 on the steps that we're taking in the battle against the Corona virus.

113,777 people have now being tested for the virus off.

Those 14,543 have tested positive, an increase in the last day off 2885.

The best scientific analysis now is that the rate of infection has bean doubling every 3 to 4 days on off.

Those who have contracted the virus 759 have sadly died our thoughts and prayers over the families of those who have passed away.

These figures are a powerful reminder of the need for all of us to act.

We needed to slow the spread of the virus and strengthen the any chess is ability to protect us all.

Strict social distancing measures have been put in place to restrict the spread off covered 19 so fewer people should need hospital treatment at any one time.

The measures that we've put in place for the scientific and medical advice and are designed to reduce the rate of infection and as well as acting to slow the spread of the virus.

We're also acting to strengthen the N H s.

We're expanding the number of beds available for new patients.

We're increasing the number of staff in our hospitals, and we're also investing in lifesaving equipment for those with severe symptoms to give people the care they need when they need it most.

I'd like to thank all those involved in this effort to reinforce the front line in the battle against the virus, the military personnel were helping to fit out a new hospital in east London on door, helping to distribute personal protective equipment.

The amazing doctors, nurses and support staff in our any chess, those in manufacturing who've risen to the challenge of producing new ventilators on the hundreds of thousands who volunteered to help in innumerable ways.

This is a united national effort on the spirit off selflessness shown by so many is truly inspiring, and this voice, of course, affect us all as you're no doubt already aware the prime minister has coronavirus on itself.

He began experiencing mild symptoms yesterday afternoon on was tested on the advice of England's chief medical officer, Professor Chris Witty.

The Prime mister is continuing to lead the government's response to Corona virus sharing meetings on communicating with key members off his team through video conferencing.

And earlier today, the Prime Mister led the effort in launching our latest front in the fight against Covered 19.

Today I can announce that the prime minister has brought together businesses, research institutes and universities in a new alliance to boost testing capacity for frontline workers.

Increasing our testing capacity is absolutely crucial in our response to and our fight against Corona virus.

This is a particular priority for those who work in the health and social care sector on are working so hard to keep us all safe.

This will be Auntie Jen testing, testing whether people currently have the disease so that our health and social care workers can have security in the knowledge that they're safe to return to work.

If the test is negative, these tests will be trialed for people on the front line, starting immediately with hundreds of take place by the end of the weekend, dramatically scaling up next week.

And, of course, protecting our frontline workers is at the forefront of everyone's minds.

At the moment last night, millions of people made a fantastic tribute to the heroes and heroines of the energy.

Yes, when he stepped outside their front doors and clapped our cares and alongside those in health and social care.

I also want to thank those who work in food production in retail, those who work for the Royal mail on public transport, our teachers and our social workers.

Having talked to trade union and business leaders, civil servants and public spirited volunteers on, of course, ministers and the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in recent days, I want to record my admiration for the national solidarity being shown in the fight against this disease.

All of us can support our any chess by continuing to follow the guidance, to stay at home, to protect or any chess and to save lives.

I will now turn to the chief executive of the N.

Today, over 6200 confirmed positive Corona virus patients are in hospital across England, and we know that number is only Baron to rise over the coming days.

That's why, as Michael says, it is so important that everybody follows the medical advice to stay at home and in so doing, save lives.

S is making an extraordinary effort right across this country to ensure that we have care for those patients who need the looking after from Corona virus.

That's why any chest are for pulling out all the stops in an unprecedented response to this global health emergency.

As off today across England, we have reconfigured hospital service is so that 33,000 hospital beds are available to treat further Corona virus patients.

It's also why we are taking the extraordinary action to build new hospitals in very short order, starting with the MHS Nightingale Hospital in East London and today, because this is a problem, of course, not just confined to London, but across the whole country.

I have given the go ahead to the building off to further off these n hs Nightingale hospitals, beginning the Birmingham National Exhibition Center on Dhe, the Manchester Central Convention Center, with further such hospitals to follow.

In doing that, I obviously want to pay tribute to the contribution, not just off N HS staff, but the support that we're getting from volunteers from the armed forces, from social care from all of our partners.

I think, that in just the last two weeks we've seen 18,000 doctors and nurses returned to practice on the General Medical Council, and the Nursing Medical Council registers answering the call to arms on dhe.

It was therefore very gratifying for our staff across the N hs to see this remarkable act pouring in the clap for carers last night.

For many nurses coming home from a day at hospital or for other staff returning to start again for the night shift, it will have meant an enormous amount to know that the whole country is behind them.

But the best way we can show that support, of course, is actually by doing what it will take to reduce the rate of infection, because even simple actions following this advice will save lives Thank you very much.

I'll now turn to the media to take questions.

I think our first question is from Vicky Young off the BBC.

Goba, the Prime Minister has Corona virus.

The chief medical officer is in isolation.

People will be looking at this and maybe wondering whether you haven't been taking your own advice or you may be acted too slowly.

But when it came to stopping the spread of Corona virus another question, please.

We've had cancer patients getting in touch with BBC today, Very worried about the cancellation or postponement of their treatment or operations.

Maybe being put at risk under question for Dr Harris if I could.

Can you be more precise about the peak off this outbreak?

L turned Thio Simon to Jenny in a second.

I think the fact that both the prime Minister on Dhe, the health Secretary, have contracted the virus is a reminder that the virus does not discriminate.

And that is why it is so important that we practice social distancing measures.

Ministers are working remotely and from home using videoconferencing in order to make sure that we can follow the strict advice that all of us should be following in order to help to protect the N.

On the question of cancer care, we've been clear that we do want essential and urgent cancer treatments to continue, but that cancer specialists should have the opportunity with their patients to decide whether it is more risky for somebody to embark on treatment at this particular time.

Given that you are more vulnerable to infection if you begin a course of treatment, perhaps chemo or become immuno compromised as a result.

So those clinical decisions that will need to be taken.

We've also agreed a landmark deal with all of the independent hospitals across the country, which has given us the ability to look after patients away from the busy hospitals that are treating a corona virus.

On DDE in London, for example, the Royal Marsden is therefore coordinating cancer care right across the capital so that even if patients aren't being looked after their local hospital, they will be getting the care they need.

But these are very difficult and sensitive judgments that need to be made with the full involvement off cancer clinicians as well as patients.

Yes, I'm going to be a little bit repetitive.

The same question, I think, was asked yesterday from a different media colleague.

It would be very foolish of me, I think, to predict precisely when we expect the peak to be, not least because we have put in social distancing interventions on dhe, we are looking to see how well they work.

As I said yesterday, there's some early indication that the public are really now heeding that advice and we thank them for that.

It's really important that they continue to do that.

We do not expect to see a significant change in our numbers for two or three weeks until we really need people to stick with us and stick to those social distancing interventions for that period.

We are, of course, monitoring that day to daily on.

We will obviously put when we've got a firm prediction that will be happy to share that with you.

But obviously it's good news that we've heard that the Prime Minister is only experiencing mild symptoms.
