Boris Johnson has told Britons to avoid pubs, clubs, restaurants and theatres and to only make essential journeys in the "national fightback" against coronavirus.
The prime minister told a Downing Street news conference the number of coronavirus cases in the UK could double every five or six days without "drastic action".
Anyone with a high temperature or a persistent cough, or anyone in the same household with them, is now being told to stay at home for 14 days.
