Welcome to Downing Street for today's growing barbarous press briefing.

I'm joined by Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick boats on Dr Doyle, medical director at Public Health.

Before Sir Patrick provides an update on the latest data from our Cobra Kurt Corona virus stash, I just want to give you an update on the steps that we as a government being taken to defeat I'll step by step.

Action plan is aimed to slow the spread of the virus.

So fewer people in hospital treatment at any one time, thereby protecting the chases capacity.

At each point, we'll be following the scientific and medical advice, maybe very deliberate actions taking the right steps at the right time, rules say, taking unprecedented action to increase n hs capacity.

Why dramatically expanding the numbers of beds, key stuff, lifesaving equipment on front line so that we get people they can they need when they need it.

That's why we're instructing people to stay so we could protect our and just save lives.

I've reported through the government's ongoing monitoring testing programme.

As of today, under 34,946 people have now been tested for the virus 112,805 tested negative, 22,141 tested positive.

Those who contracted of ours 1408 have very sadly died.

We express our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those things have passed away.

I think those figures right the importance of foreign governments guidelines.

We must stay to protect any chest and say, like all of those involved in front in particular, Vase in the chest.

Well, that battle against ours Amazing doctors, Amazing nurses away Support staff Working day with thousands of other key focus from all teachers to suit walking look fantastic diplomatic network who are all as a team working around the clock to get us through this unprecedented creative challenge.

This is the United National on the screen of selfishness.

Shaped by saying Maybe is an inspiration announcement tend to what we'd be doing to support British people traveling around the world.

He's the greatest global challenge in a generation.

As the country's work to secure that borders and stop spread of this decade bars.

We appreciate the unprecedented number, but UK travelers trying to get home.

We're talking about hundreds of thousands of people traveling around the world.

So with that in mind on the 70 that march, we advise people against all non essential travel around the world.

And since the 20 large, we've advised that okay, UK residents who are currently traveling gold should return.

Hundreds of thousands have already done that.

Many troubles haven't yet managed to get from young backpack.

We appreciate the difficult predicament that they find themselves in.

We also recognize exactly anxiety or families.

Here in UK, we're concerned to get their loved ones.

It's a warning time for all of those who've been affected.

You're sure that that this guy they go, he's working around the clock to support advice helpless travelers get.

I've spoken to more than 20 foreign ministers around the world in the last week or say to support this effort to keep airports and ports and to facilitate access to them by British travels of the weekend suspect performances from Australia, New Zealand, India, Brazil, Pakistan, I'll suspect the Seeker could promise that in all of those cases and urged them to live with this to keep commercial rigs fly.

Given the scale and complexity of this challenge, he inevitably requires a team effort.

So the Foreign Office is working with other governments.

There's a particular focus on Transit House, I will say, working with the airlines to keep his many flights running.

We got a lot to do, but we've already helped hundreds of thousands of Britain's get.

The first priority is to keep as many commercial flights running as we can, and that's based all just purely with scale and the number of people who want to come.

As a result of those events on the corporation received from the Spanish, we've enabled an estimated 150,000 UK nationals to get back from Spain.

Well, now the commercial routes that come under pressure.

We worked with partly governments and airlines to get back 8500 UK Travis from Morocco, around 5000 UK nationals from Cyprus.

That gives you a sense of the scale of the challenge and the numbers of British travels abroad.

Now in symptoms stops is where commercial flights counsel, right, We've already chartered flights, which prove necessary to return 1400 UK nationals flights, for example, from from China at the outset of this crisis recently from Peru.

We've not faced challenges like this and getting people home from abroad on this scale.

In recently, efforts are closing down, preventing airlines operating with commercial basis little authorities and placed restrictions on movement that prevent people from getting to the airport at a critical transit.

Hubs that we rely on long haul flights are also shutting down or in some cases, limiting their flights.

Some of these restrictions have been done very collected, something like practice.

It'll which makes it very difficult to respond.

The international cooperation is absolutely going.

As I said, it's a team that involves government working with other governments, groups working with yeah, so with that seems more like an today.

Announced a new arrangement between the government and airlines to fly home tens of thousands of stranded British travellers where commercial flights on no longer possible.

Paul headlines in Crete, British Airways Virgin easyJet jet too excited and this this could be extended, the arrangements that we are putting in place.

We will target flights from a range off priority countries.

Let me explain how this would work in practice.

Wet commercial, res remaining option and lines will be responsible for getting passengers.

That means offering alternative flights that little to no cost where weeks of being canceled.

That means a lot of passengers to change tickets, including between campus.

So for those still in those countries where commercial options are still available, don't wait.

Please look guilty gets as soon as possible when commercial flights and the longer begun provide the necessary financial support for special charter flights to bring UK nationals back home.

One special charter flights have been arranged.

We will promote them through the government's travel advice by the British Embassy.

Will High Commission in the red culture British drivers who wants a seat?

All these lights will book and directly through a dedicated travel management company.

We designated £75 million to support those flights in the airline's in order to keep the cost down affordable for those seeking to return to the UK In arranging these lights are priority will be the most vulnerable, including the elderly will there is with particularly pressing medical needs.

I'm also looking in particular countries where we got large numbers of U K Terri struggling together UK travelers.

If they haven't already, don't say that you checked the Foreign Office travel advice.

That advice is under constant review that could help us find out more details about how to access the flights out of this arrangement.

This, you'll say, full of a social leader of UK Embassy or High commission in the country where they find themselves so they can be directed to accurate real time information from the local authorities.

Any questions that can't be answered in that travel advice or by the UK and this easel High Commission?

We also have a consent working 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I know it's been difficult to get through for some travelers just to give you a sense of the shit, will you?

On average, we know he received 1000 calls a day to that cool sector.

Well, Tuesday we have 15,000 the highest on record.

We read aboard people to assist in a cool center.

Yes, they call Central 1997 pools helped thousands of British Travis Get else is that way.

So those stranded off the family's nervously waiting news and I wanted to see their loved ones return.

We've improved our advice and boosted the Cole center so travelers get better and swift information.

We put in place this arrangement with the airlines so that we can reach more British citizens invulnerable circumstances abroad, where commercial flights are running on.

We working intensively around the club with all of our partner countries and governments around the world to give over the airports the pores on flights to bring people.

We've not faced an international change quite like this before, but together we're going to Rice, too, cools your home.

We could also for our n hs by continuing to follow the guidance to stay home, protect our chest and save lawyers.

I think I'll now David Patrick Balance, who gave a presentation on the latest data that will take some questions after how much I wanted to share with you some of the information about where we are in this outbreak on some of the measures have been taken on.

The idea, as we've said repeatedly, is to try and break and slow transmission of the virus, and that's through staying at home keeping distance.

So the first slide shows that actually this is being successful in terms of the behavior changes.

I want to thank everybody for the way in which everyone is adhering to the measures to be put in place.

This shows the use of transport over time from the end of February.

Fruit, too now, and you can see a dramatic fall off the use of the London tube down to just a few percent off what it was back in the end of February.

The decrease in bus used a decrease in national rail on a decrease also the use of all motor vehicles.

So the measures in place they are making a difference.

They are decreasing the contact which is so important to spread the disease.
