This study could dramatically improve our understanding of #COVID19 & whether a person’s DNA affects how they react to the virus. Thank you to everyone taking part in the study – it could be a gamechanger. bbc.in/3fK2lv7 @GenomicsEngland @EdinburghUni @DHSCgovuk

On #InternationalNursesDay, I pay tribute to Florence Nightingale, pioneer of modern nursing, who was born 200 years ago today. Thank you to all of our amazing nurses in the UK who are taking care of us, especially in this very difficult time. You are the very best of us.

This weekend please do not make any non-essential journeys. To slow the spread of this virus everyone must stay at home unless it’s for work (where you cannot work from home), health reasons, food or exercise. If we all follow these instructions we can beat this virus.

This country has made a huge effort, a huge sacrifice, and done absolutely brilliantly well in delaying the spread of the virus. But in this fine weather, please don't be tempted to break the regulations. I urge everyone to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.

We all need to fight #COVID19. Anyone can get infected and spread the disease to others. Some young, healthy people have become seriously sick, and some have even died. Low risk isn't no risk.
