Will ministers apologise over protective equipment 'failings'? 'We understand importance of getting PPE to NHS front line,' Dominic Raab says He says 16 million pieces of personal protective equipment were delivered over bank holiday weekend
Now we've heard from the UK government there is lots of news to bring you - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has reported that for the first day in a week, the state has seen less than 700 deaths from Covid-19.In his daily press briefing from Albany, he said:"God did not do that. Fate did not do that. Destiny did not do that. A lot of pain and suffering did that.
"If we do something stupid, you will see those numbers go right back up tomorrow," he warned, adding that official death toll now stood at 10,056. Quoting wartime British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, as he has often in his news conferences, he called this moment"the end of the beginning". Cuomo added that he would be speaking with other state governors about a"geographically co-ordinated" plan to re-open the economy by"recalibrating" what jobs were deemed essential.
His statement came an hour after President Trump tweeted:"A decision by me, in conjunction with the governors and input from others, will be made shortly!"
