He says it would be"completely unacceptable" for banks to refuse funds to good businesses experiencing difficulty during this time.Sharma conveys"heartfelt thanks" to businesses"working to keep our economy going". When the crisis passes - and it will - we are ready to bounce back, he says.

Luke Johnson warns:"The longer this shutdown continues, the more industry will generally shut down and become insolvent."The number of coronavirus deaths in Canada has risen to 105, with more than 9,000 confirmed cases.Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said:"This joint call exposes the level of concern from health care workers about the adequacy and supply of PPE.

All national team games scheduled for June have also been postponed, including play-off matches for Euro 2020, which has been moved to 2021.Another 486 people who tested positive for the coronavirus have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 2,137.Twenty of the 486 patients - aged between 13 and 93 years old - had no known underlying health condition.

Three officers were kicked, coughed at and spat on while responding to reports of an assault in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex Police said. Newcastle North's Catherine McKinnell said constituency staff had been in touch with local care homes and many were concerned about the lack of supplies."What is the urgent plan to ensure these homes do not run out?Unions warn of 'crisis' over lack of protective equipment

"Workers are being exposed to unreasonable and unnecessary risk by the ongoing failure to provide key workers with adequate PPE. Ian Sayers, JCB parts and service managing director, said the company was happy to hand over"much-needed gloves and masks" to the NHS, adding:"They are doing an amazing job and we are pleased to be able to help."

Rest in peace Dr Alfa Saadu. Thank you for sacrificing yourself to save some of us ❤️

bruh that’s a veteran right there

The PPE is the corselet for doctor. Please give them enough,or it is murder.

RIP🕯️

Such a great 👍 selfless doctor! May he rest in peace in heaven!🙏 This virus 🦠 is no joke, please take it very seriously! Stay safe!

This is what happens when the healthcare staff are not given the appropriate ppe. The government seem to be slow in saving the people in the front line.

Aya kwini

God.

Hero ❤️

RIP 💔

MsElemental Education system should be free to the world so that promising students can do better and new in the field of 'Science & Research'. Even, In every field of education that makes the World better. Prevention of everything is possible only through education.

This is heartbreaking

God bless his soul. What a hero

God rest this hero’s soul

💔 may he rest in peace

A legend indeed! He lived his entire life saving lives. Rest on, legend!!

Nhs staff should be awarded knighthood and bravery awards. Not idiots like footballers, musician , lawyers , business ppl etc and the list goes on.

Thankyou kind sir RIP 😢❤🙏 maybe getting doctors out of retirement isnt the best idea not until theres a vaccine for it. He risked his life to save us 💔

Desperately sad. May he rest in peace.

RIP

How incredibly sad, RIP to a hero.

Desperately sad. What a very bleak day in the UK.

lance458 He is a Nigerian! Mention it

Hero

BashirAhmaad So sad

BashirAhmaad Condolences, so sad. RIP. 🙏. Thank you for all your service.

This is so sad... rest in peace xxx

There is only one decision for our government to take; DECLARE MARTIAL LAW - ORDER IMMEDIATE ACTION TO SUPPLY SAFETY EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED BY NHS Any administrative process or time taking procedures TO BE BY-PASSED - STARTING NOW APRIL THE FIRST!

So sad my heart breaks for his family what a kind soul and a hero! Rest in peace 💙

See how the coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News COVID19 Coronavirus WHO WorldHealthOrganization Medical

What is his name?

These people should be recognised properly...

True hero! No words are good enough 😢

Fucking hero remember that 😂

what an absolute hero!

So sad 😞

Rest In peace hero

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️

This is not fair!!

May Allah accept his soul. A proper martyr

Very very sad.

He didn’t film himself coming out of retirement, just did it. Hero

This is just awful news and sadly won’t be the last. How can you ask kind, caring people to go back to work and yet provide them with totally inadequate protection, if any at all. It’s like sending troops into the battlefield without guns or ammo! Govt led manslaughter.

Saffiya_Khan1 This unnecessary death is the result of mismanagement of NHS privatised service companies that no longer serve the nation or the NHS but their share holders. Our so called Gov. is no longer in a position to do anything other than propaganda & bigging up. Emperor has no clothes!

I'm sure BorisJohnson isn't worrying enough with British people. How many lives would be saved if he'd imposed lockdown on 13/03 (10days before the official date)? Today, we still watch NHS staff and people in general not being tested for COVID19. No excuse, this is a shame.

Thank you for your service 😇😇 RIP XX

Went out on his shield...hero

raziakkhan This is really sad. RIP 🙏

RIP

So sad, needless, immoral. That's 4 doctors now in UK and over 60 in Italy. Goodness knows how many in US, Spain, France, China, South Korea etc. Any nurse numbers published? God love them all 😥

😔 RIP. If Govt wants retired NHS staff to come out of retirement..they should at least be equipped with protective measures?

Absolute fucking hero. RIP to you sir

True hero

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sacrifice 🙏

When this is all over these people need to be remembered properly. We mustn't allow them to just be a statistic.

RIP

This is so sad. I didn’t agree with retired/semi-retired medical staff helping. Although the virus appears to infect any age now, retired/semi-retired NHS staff will be in the high risk group who need to remain in isolation unfortunately. Very brave.

RIP brave doctor. 🙏

Poor guy, bless his soul!

All the words in Oxford dictionary for paying tribute, seems so small for you doc. COVID19 CoronaVirus

Why are HM Gov still insisting on paper CT61 tax return forms which require us to go out, buy stamps & post during pandemic?

RIP absolute hero no need to come out of retirement but he did to help a completely selfless act that ended up costing him his life..God bless you 🙏

This absolutely fucking sucks. agony

Thank you! Rest in peace.

U can see it in his face, the loop holes and lip service this announcement is Local authorities are obscene bureaucratic hell holes. The death knell of the economy and way of life will be unprecedented. The overreaction and mismanagement. Hundreds of Thousands unemployed.

God Bless you Sir and thankyou for your service and your selfless sacrifice putting yourself back in the face of danger. RIP 😢🙏

He should never of been put in that position.

Coronavirus: UK measures having 'big effect' on social contact - BBC NewsUK's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance says measures being put in place are 'making a difference' Coronavirus latest: BBCScotlandNews Can we have medical summaries post govt briefings and not political summaries. This is a medical crisis, not a political one. But no clarity on testing and equipment. No details. They should at least provide references for us to look at: list of test options, who, where, when? Amazed somebody asked about confronting China about yet another virus. Doubt it. I find it very troubling that these stats just relate to England.
