Meanwhile at the Goverment’s daily briefing housing secretary Robert Jenrick says the government wants infrastructure and construction to begin again – but only where it is safe to do so.
He said ministers will also work to create more room in town centres as social distancing continues.
“We want to ensure appropriate and safe social distancing so people have the confidence to go back to work,” he added.
“Loal economies will need a plan to restart and recover.”
He added that the government would be working on how the leisure, transport and manufacturing sectors can operate guided by scientific advice.
He also said the Government “will stand behind” council leaders across the country to ensure they have the resources that they need to carry out the absolutely critical functions that they are playing in the national response to coronavirus.
