Mr Johnson will describe the pandemic as a"moment of national emergency" , urging the public to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives. He will also praise the work of doctors, nurses and other carers as well as well as the hundreds of thousands of people who have volunteered to help the most vulnerable.How staying at home can stop coronavirus
