Britain is 'past the peak' of coronavirus - but we can't come out of lockdown until we're sure it wouldn't risk a second spike, the PM said.
A total of 674 more deaths have been recorded since yesterday in all settings.
But the peak has been passed, Boris Johnson said.
Speaking in this afternoon's press conference, he likened the coronavirus crisis to a 'tunnel' we've passed through and we can now see 'the sunshine.'
He says he will set out next week a plan for how we get back to work and school. But five key tests must be met before we come out of lockdown.
