The foreign secretary says BorisJohnson is 'a fighter' and he is 'confident' the PM 'will pull through'

Mr Raab said he and fellow cabinet ministers"will not blink or flinch" in the battle against COVID-19, despite Mr Johnson's absence.

"We're focused with total unity and total resolve on implementing them so that when he's back, I hope in very short order, we will have made the progress that he would expect and that the country would expect," he added. Appearing alongside Mr Raab at the news conference, Sir Patrick Vallance - the government's chief scientific adviser - said the UK"might be moving in the right direction" in terms of the number of new coronavirus cases.

"It does begin to suggest that things might be moving in the right direction in terms of numbers and it's important that we carry on with the measures that we have got in place in order to make sure that this does go in the right direction."But Mr Raab said the government would not yet be reviewing the lockdown measures in the UK - aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus - as he urged Britons to stay at home over the Easter weekend.
